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 Steady-State Simulation

Type	Lecture (1 SWS) + Exercise (0.5 SWS), online
Credits	2
Rhythm	Winter Semester
Bachelor / Master	Master
Audience	PSE, BPE
Language	English
LSF number	061032
Moodle Room	only accessible after successful registration in LSF

Course Content

The course presents simulation techniques for the creation of mass and energy balances of continu-ously operated manufacturing processes. Using selected processes from the chemical industry, the mathematical and numerical basics of balancing, such as different iteration methods and the respective convergence behavior, are explained. This is followed by an introduction to the basics of process simulation using the flowsheeting soft-ware Aspen Plus. With the help of this software, example processes will be set up successively so that students can learn how the various unit operations work. The content presented in the lecture will be applied by the stu-dents in independent exercises, whereby the solutions to the exercises will be presented and discussed in an online course.
