Level: U 4 units Standard A - F Grading
Chemical engineering problems presented and analyzed in an industrial context. Emphasis on the integration of fundamentals with material property estimation, process control, product development, and computer simulation. Integration of societal issues, such as engineering ethics, environmental and safety considerations, and impact of technology on society are addressed in the context of case studies.
Also meets 3-5pm 1/14/08 - 1/25/08, for lab sessions. Final session 2/01/08 11-1pm. All sessions in 66-110.
Many processes are sufficiently complex and involve so many parameters that physically based models cannot be readily constructed. Statistical approaches for their analysis will be demonstrated to characterize such systems. Concepts such as experimental error, design of experiments, and goodness of fit will be discussed. Lab experiments will be performed and analyzed to optimize a system using statistical design of experiments.
