Synopsis
This module provides with the knowledge and understanding of chemical engineering design in practice mainly in the aspects of process design. It also extends the use of essential chemical engineering design tools for process simulation.
This module provides with the knowledge and understanding of chemical engineering design in practice mainly in the aspects of process design. It also extends the use of essential chemical engineering design tools for process simulation.
Learning Strategy
Lectures will be used to introduce the key definitions and concepts. Worked examples are used to illustrate the methods for solving material balance problems. Students will develop and practice their problem solving skills during the weekly 1-2 hour tutorial sessions guided by academic staff. On-line assessments will be provided via… For more content click the Read More button below.
