Legal, ethical and economic implications included in evaluation of applicable emission reduction and emission control techniques and processes will be stressed. A lecture and laboratory study of wood fibers and their properties. Both fracture and optical properties of paper are considered. Basics of paper testing and reclaimed fibers are also studied. Fundamentals of chemical engineering dealing with behavior of gases, thermophysical properties of gases, liquids and solids, thermochemistry, and associated problem solving.
Emphasis is on mass and energy balances.
The laboratory period is utilized as a problem solving workshop. A continuation of PAPR 306 dealing with the unit operations of chemical engineering in the areas of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Emphasis is on principles and equipment design and application. The laboratory period is devoted to problem solving and equipment design. A written report is required.
