Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By Airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Lecture

Introduction to Stationary Simulation

Type	Lecture (1 SWS) + Exercise (0.5 SWS), digital
Credits	2
Rhythm	Summer term
Bachelor / Master	Bachelor
Audience	BIW, CIW
Language	English
LSF number	061032
Moodle Room	Moodle Raum SS25

Course Content

The course ‘Introduction to Stationary Simulation’ presents simulation techniques for the development of mass and energy balances of continuously operated production processes. Using a selected process from the chemical industry, mathematical and numerical principles of balancing, such as various iteration methods and the respective convergence behaviour, are first taught using Microsoft Excel using the example of a selected unit operation. This is followed by an introduction into the basics of process simulation with the flowsheeting software ASPEN PLUS. With the help of this software, the above-mentioned example process is to be built up successively so that the students are taught how the various unit operations work and the first possibilities for optimisation. The content is to be learnt independently by the students in an online and interactive Moodle course by completing exercises and tasks. Accompanying consultation hours allow for a direct exchange with the lecturers.
