Summary | This course provides, via small/pilot-scale practical laboratory experimentation or online laboratory experimentation videos, the practical application of theoretical principles and concepts learnt in earlier and concurrent chemical engineering courses . The laboratory covers most aspects of chemical engineering unit operation processes including heat and mass transfer (HMT), volumetric reactors (R), bed reactors (B) and separation (S). |
Course description |
This is a 100% Coursework Course where the students undertake 5 Practical or Online Laboratory Experiences ensuring a good balance between the different available experiments related to chemical engineering units operations, i.e. 1 HMT, 1 HT, 1 R, 1 B and 1 S. The list of current experiments is found below:
- Two-phase Heat Transfer (HMT1)
- Single Tube Condenser (HMT2)
- Thermoelectric Heat Pump (HMT3)
- Drying (HT4)
- Büchi Spray Drier (HT5)

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Gain the relevant skills and practice for future laboratory experimentation at small/pilot scale with emphasis on health and safety, safe start-up, operation and shut-down.
- Plan and execute specific laboratory experimentation to test particular relationships or investigate explicit phenomena related to concurrent chemical engineering courses and processes.
- Apply, assimilate and secure concepts taught theoretically on other different chemical engineering courses.
- Appropriately record, analyse, and plot data including error analysis to support the relationship/process being tested.
- Effectively communicate in a concise, complete and properly referenced scientific manner the complete experimental practice and its analysis via written reports, oral and poster presentations.
