Emphasizes development of systematic problem-solving abilities. Material and energy balances are thoroughly studied. Problems involving separation technology and chemical reaction technology are solved using both manual and software-based methods. Various unit operations in chemical engineering are studied.
Students write reports and make oral presentation of results.
Emphasis placed on application of thermodynamic principles to industry. A study of engineering materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, plastics, rubber and ceramics, their structures properties, behavior, heat treatment, phase diagrams, and an introduction to the theory of corrosion. Emphasis on solutions of differential equations as well as optimization. Preparation and execution of computer programs on digital computers. Problems illustrate the design of such unit operations as distillation, gas absorption and extraction.
