Computer Programming & Application in Ceramic Engineering    

What is modeling and simulation, Basic concepts of modeling: Models based on mass and heat transfer (conduction,

convection transport, radiation). Logic based industrial flow sheet with recycling. Optimization aspect from Linear

and nonlinear point of view, evolutionary approach  to global optimization: Genetic algorithm, etc. Simulation

strategies: Sequential, equation solving approach,  modular approach. Simulation software, object oriented

programming, web-based technology. Computer application in controlling ceramic processes and furnaces and other

relevant accessories.
