  2. Knowledge of Modelica language

Procedure to Submit:

Part A:

  1. Create your OpenModelica Flowsheet for the approved proposal topic and save the file with .mo extension.
  2. Follow the naming convention while saving the OpenModelica file: "Flowsheet_FlowsheetTopic". For Example: "Flowsheet_AceticAcidProduction"
  3. Write one-page abstract describing the process in the flowsheet and save the file as a pdf document
  4. Follow the naming convention while saving the abstract file: "Abstract_FlowsheetTopic". For Example: "Abstract_AceticAcidProduction"
  5. Create an archive comprising both the files with .zip extension and follow the naming convention for the zip file as "FlowsheetName.zip". For Example "AceticAcidProduction.zip"

Part B:

  1. Create your DWSIM Flowsheet for the approved proposal topic and save the file with .dwxml/.dwxmz extension.
  2. Follow the naming convention while saving the DWSIM file: "Flowsheet_FlowsheetTopic". For Example: "Flowsheet_AceticAcidProduction"
  3. Write one-page abstract describing the process in the flowsheet and save the file as a pdf document
  4. Follow the naming convention while saving the abstract file: "Abstract__FlowsheetTopic". For Example: "Abstract_AceticAcidProduction"
  5. Create an archive comprising both the files with .zip extension and follow the naming convention for the zip file as "FlowsheetName.zip". For Example "AceticAcidProduction.zip"

Evaluation Criteria:

Following criteria will be considered while evaluating the flowsheet:

  • The complexity of the flowsheet
  • Accuracy of results obtained
  • The originality of the abstract
