Course Objectives A principal objective of this class is to describe modern strategies for the design of chemical products and processes, with a systematic approach. Thermodynamics, momentum, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reaction kinetics principles will be utilized to create chemical products and processes that satisfy societal needs while returning a profit. Information required to simulate an equipment, product or process will be given, as are the basics of using a process simulator.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to apply knowledge from math, chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, separations, and reaction engineering to complex, open-ended chemical engineering problems such as design, performance, troubleshooting, and debottlenecking.
  • Students will be able to optimize portions of chemical processes.
Course Content Problem solving strategies, flowsheets, hierarchical approach to process design, batch operations, understanding process conditions, design heuristics, pump and compressor performance, heat exchanger design and performance, separator design and performance, reactor design and performance.
