Unit Operations Experimental Design and Analysis

Catalog description

This course addresses the fundamental operation and applications of chemical engineering unit processes, generally referred to as unit operations. Students will learn and develop experimental designs and engage in the data analysis required to characterize the operations and relate theory to industrial practice. Students will engage in pilot-scale process experimentation based on appropriate experimental designs and analysis. Typical processes covered include process filtration, tubular flow reactors, liquid-liquid extraction, fluidized beds, continuous crystallization, leaching, reverse osmosis, gas permeation, absorption and stripping, and bioprocesses.
