Application of these principles to basic transport processes. Diffusive and convective transport mechanisms. Study of diffusion mass transfer and mass transfer operation, including humidification, absorption, stripping, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, leaching, drying, crystallization, evaporation, filtration, adsorption, and membrane separations. In this course chemical engineering experiments are performed on both bench and pilot plant scale apparatus. The results are used to correlate the chemical engineering science, and the design theory taught in previous course work with the units' actual operation.
Emphasis is placed on technical report-writing and oral report presentation.
Introduction to the application of process control to chemical and physical processes. Design of small-scale chemical systems with project and case study approaches, equipment and materials specification, economic evaluation of individual plant subsystems. Large-scale, integrated design of chemical systems within the constraints of return on investment, market forecasts, safety, and pollution abatement. Senior standing in Engineering, or permission of instructor. An interdisciplinary course in agile manufacturing.
