Development of thermodynamic models for phase equilibria prediction (cubic EoS, EoS/GE models). Applications of thermodynamics to polymer mixtures and supercritical fluid extraction. Computational analysis of Transport Phenomena: Discretization of conservation equations by combining the methods of Galerkin weighted residuals and finite element. Solution and parametric analysis of linear and nonlinear equation sets. Development and implementation of computer codes to study realistic cases including complex geometry, composite boundary conditions, coexisting transport mechanisms (e.g. conduction, convection, reaction). Introduction to the computational fluid dynamics code PHOENICS.
