| Aim: This course revolves around a design project to be completed in small groups. The overall objective is to solve the problem given to your group. This will require alternative possibilities to be studied and evaluated before an optimal solution is proposed and analysed in detail. The specific objectives are laid out in the following six levels, with the knowledge and depth of understanding increasing with each level. A pass in the course can be obtained by being able to complete all the levels. Higher grades require a demonstration of initiative and originality. By the end of the course, students are to be able to: (1) demonstrate knowledge of facts: define equation of state models, activity models, fugacity, activity, cost indices, cash flow diagram, depreciation, pay back period; (2) explain and describe: discounted and non-discounted economic calculations, rules of thumb, the design process, the use of commercial design software; (3) apply knowledge in order to design industrial processes: use commercial software to design and simulate an industrial process (4) use knowledge to analyse industrial processes: analyse a chemical or biological reaction or set of chemical or biological reactions and recommend the best reactor system to meet a given objective; analyse a separation process and recommend the best steps to obtain the desired purities; analyse the economic aspects of a proposed process; analyse an open-ended project description to obtain specific objectives and tasks to be completed; work together in a team to complete these tasks and objectives. (5) combine knowledge from previous courses and extend it with knowledge learned in TFKI 61: design chemical or biological engineering equipment (e.g. distillation columns, heat exchangers, reactors) without the restrictions of the assumptions of ideality (e.g. ideal gas/liquid, isothermal, adiabatic); design equipment based on different simplifying assumptions and decide which assumptions are appropriate. (6) Evaluate: compare different solutions to an assigned project from an economic and technical point of view; decide which solution is optimal; oppose another group�?Ts presentation of their design project. |
