CoE BULLETIN DESCRIPTION: Experimentation in rate and separation processes on a scale which that tests process models. Introduction to the use of instrumental analysis and process control. Laboratory, conferences, reports. Technical communications.		COURSE TOPICS: (number of hours in parentheses) (ENote that each student works on 3 projects, each for 3-4 weeks, for a total of 109 weeks in the laboratory. Projects include distillation, double-effect evaporator, process control, reactor optimization, and extraction. Each project concludes with a written and oral report. Tech. Comm. faculty provide opportunities outside of scheduled class time for students to rehearse, videotape, and get professional feedback on presentations.) Lectures include the following topics: Distillation optimization (9) 0.Double-effect evaporator optimization (9) 0.Process control (9) 0.Optimization of CSTR for hydrolysis reaction (9) 2.
