This course will help chemists and other scientists bridge the gap between the research lab and the plant. It offers practical, timely information on chemical reactor design, reaction systems, and chemical process economics; the interaction of chemical engineering and chemical phenomena and processes; non isothermal batch reactors, combined absorption, and chemical reactions; and fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, pumps, heat exchangers, and separation processes.
Key Topics
* Practical, timely information on chemical reactor design, reaction systems, and chemical process economics.
* The interaction of chemical engineering and chemical phenomena and processes.
* Non-isothermal batch reactors, combined absorption, and chemical reactions.
* Fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, pumps, heat exchangers, and separation processes.
Session titles
* Relation of Chemical Processes and Phenomena to Chemical Engineering Principles -- Industrial examples.
* Chemical Engineering Principles -- Concept of driving force; similarities and differences among fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer; concept of dimensionless groups; scale-up.
* Fluid Flow and Statics -- Laminar and turbulent flow; the Reynold's number; pressure drops.
* Fluid Flow -- Momentum balance; the Bernoulli equation; friction factors; flow rates; pressure drops; circular and noncircular ducts; equipment design and flow; measurement; industrial examples; agitation and mixing; non-Newtonian fluids.
* Heat Transfer -- Modes of heat transfer; steady and unsteady state conduction; convective head transfer; laminar and turbulent flow; radiation design procedures; industrial examples.
* Mass Transfer -- Rate process and equilibrium approaches; diffusion and Fick's Law; equilibrium stage operations; application to industrial separations.
