Richard Turton, Richard Bailie, Wallace Whiting, and Joseph Shaeiwitz. (F,H,J,M)Īnalysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes, 2nd edition. They will be expected to incorporate appropriate health, safety and environmental controls into their design solutions. Students will be exposed to topics related to the health, safety, environmental and ethical issues that can arise in the design and operation of chemical processes.
These tools will include word processing and presentation software for preparation of reports and presentations spreadsheets and numerical analysis software for engineering analysis (e.g., Mathcad) and specialized programs for heat exchanger network design (HENSAD), capital cost (CapCost), and flow sheet simulation (HYSYS).
Students will learn to communicate their design solutions effectively via professional reports and presentations.Students will use the problem-solving skills developed in this course to identify, describe and solve design problems, taking into account technical, economic, social and marketing issues.Students will work together in a team to solve design problems, utilize outside resources (literature, expertise from other disciplines) in solving design problems, evaluate the economic merit of the proposed solution, and communicate their results effectively via reports and presentations.Students will design systems and process components.
Students will apply knowledge from mathematics, science and engineering courses to design and analyze the performance of new processes and to evaluate and improve the performance of existing processes.Develop oral and written communication skills.Understand the role of ethics, health, safety and environmental issues in the design of a chemical plant or hazardous wate treatment facility.Apply energy integration techniques and synthesize heat exchanger networks.Analyze and improve the performance of equipment and processes.Use simulation techniques to design equipment and prcesses and to analyze their performance.Develop a process flow sheet and identify appropriate operating conditions for a process.Use engineering economics to evaluate plant profitability.Prepare manufacturing and capital cost estimates.
