Workshop Overview
Energy efficiency and conservation are common themes in TMS meetings, and never more so than in the current national emphasis on the subjects. This course provides a thorough explication of techniques for energy balance calculations in the production, utilization, conservation, and conversion of energy in materials processing. The emphasis is on teaching by examples, and relies heavily on the use of Excel and Excel-based tools for a database and balance calculations.

Course material includes a thermodynamic database, unit and stream conversion software, and a flowsheet- modeling program developed especially for teaching simulation fundamentals. Registrants will be provided with software programs for making material and energy balances for a variety of material processes, templates for specific applications such as natural gas combustion, and keyedin references to a recently published TMS/Wiley text, "Handbook on Material and Energy Balance Calculations in Material Processing", 3rd Edition, 2011, by Arthur Morris, Gordon Geiger, and H. Alan Fine. The course will also deal with more complex energy balance calculations that require the use of commercial software programs.
