| Course description |
Process calculations introduces the basic calculation techniques, both computerised and by hand, for analysing and designing chemical processing equipment. Data sources containing relevant physical and chemical properties are introduced. In addition, training in group and collaborative working and communication skills is undertaken. Laboratory sessions are undertaken as part of this course. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
- perform phase equilibrium calculations graphically, numerically by hand or using a computer package, and to cross check different calculation methods and data
- carry out design calculations for processes involving separation operations using hand or computer methods
- carry out material and energy balance calculations for reaction and separation processes by hand or using a computer package as appropriate
- analyse the behaviour of recycle processes, performing approximate material balances by hand, and setting up calculations for rigorous solution by computer
- carry out hand calculations to check computer package calculations.
- perform all of the above on their own as well as within a team as part of a coordinated group effort. |
