Abstract
Depending on the way of teaching, teachers can make enormous difference in the quality of learning and teaching at university. This paper covers how to use process modelling and process simulation to help students to understand some of the complex industrious processes easier and better. Many industrious processes, such as the production of ferrochrome, are extremely complicated and often those processes are interacted and involve many physicochemical reactions that happen simultaneously. When there is any change in one of the inputs, it usually requires to understand the potential effects on the production processes and then decide what actions should be taken to accommodate the change of the mentioned input, in order to manage the production processes to achieve the desired target. Due to the complexity of the production, it takes many hours to complete a charge calculation, which involves with the calculation of mass and energy for the entire furnace. Using process simulation built with process models, it is possible to carry out many what-if scenario exercises in classroom, resulting in easier and better understanding of the cause-effect relationship existing in the production of ferroalloy.
