Resumen:
During our courses at the Faculty of Chemistry (Universidad Nacional
Autonoma de Mexico) to teach chemist's students the fundamentals of
chemical engineering, we are faced with the problem of explaining the
different variables involved in a process. For instance, one of the most
important purification methods used in the petrochemical industry is
distillation. If the students can comprehend how molecules interact
between them and with other compounds, they can acquire the basic
knowledge to understand the way of separating different products using a
distillation tower.
The use of Molecular Modelling is an extremely powerful tool to bring
key concepts to the students in a very simple way, explaining the
complex transformations in everyday phenomena.
