Chemical Engineering

Applied heat and mass transport: applied fluid mechanics, thermodynamic work, heat transport, heat pumps/cooling. Mechanical separation processes: sedimentation, centrifuges, gas purification, filtration and floatation. Chemical processes: stirring. Python will be used for simple problem solving.

After completing the course, the student will: - have knowledge about applied heat and mass transfer. - have knowledge about mechanical separation processes. - have basic knowledge on process operations. - be able to gather and process necessary information for computations. - be able to perform calculations related to process operations. - be able to understand flow charts and know the symbols of the devices mentioned in the course. - be able to read technical diagrams such as Moody’s diagram and thermodynamic state diagrams (i.e. p, h- or h, s- diagram) - be able to make simple sketches of a process for visual communication. - be able to report process parameters in different units and basis (volume, mass, speed). - be able to construct and execute simple numerical models. - be able to use Python for simple numerical modeling. - be able to conduct simple laboratory experiments and write simple lab reports.
