COMSOL Multiphysics provides a powerful numerical platform where various models for microchemical process technology components can be readily created for both education and research. This modeling tool allows chemical engineering students to focus on understanding the effects of various microchemical system component design and operational parameters versus coding and debugging of the numerical methods.

The development of a user interface that works between the COMSOL engine and the student is also described. This interface minimizes the amount of time spent on setting up the problem while also keeping the problem specifications within reasonable bounds so that feasible solutions are obtained.
