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. |
