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.
