4.00 Credits
The diverse applications of chemical engineering are explored through example problems. Solutions require application of fundamental concepts of mass and energy conservation to batch and continuous systems, involving chemical and biological processes. Computer skills and the elements of engineering design are taught in the context of these example problems. The objective is to acquaint the student with the field of chemical engineering and to enable use of computer methods to solve chemical and biological engineering problems.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Chemistry (GIR), Physics I (GIR), Calculus I (GIR)
-
3.00 Credits
Explores energy issues in the context of real-world problems. Projects may focus on the MIT campus, local communities, or distant locations. Faculty and staff work with student teams on projects that have potential to affect local energy management. Students participate in multiple phases of project design and implementation, including developing research questions, gathering and analyzing data, articulating conclusions and recommendations, and presenting findings. Emphasis on effective teamwork. Preference to freshmen and sophomores.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Thermodynamics of multicomponent, multiphase chemical and biological systems. Applications of first, second, and third laws of thermodynamics to open and closed systems. Properties of mixtures, including colligative properties, chemical reaction equilibrium, and phase equilibrium; non-ideal solutions; power cycles; refrigeration; separation systems.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 5.60, 10.10
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces molecular concepts in relation to engineering thermodynamics. Includes topics in statistical mechanics, molecular description of gases and liquids, property estimation, description of equilibrium and dynamic properties of fluids from molecular principles, and kinetics of activated processes. Also covers some basic aspects of molecular simulation and applications in systems of engineering interest.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 5.60, 10.213
-
3.00 Credits
Chemical and engineering principles involved in creation and operation of viable industrial processes. Topics: analysis of process chemistry by p-pathways (i.e., radical, ionic, and pericyclic reactions of organic syntheses) and d-pathways (i.e., catalysis by transition-metal complexes). Use of reaction mechanisms for inference of co-product formation, kinetics, and equilibria: process synthesis logic related to reaction selectivity, recycle, separations. Illustrations drawn from current and contemplated commercial practice.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Chemistry (GIR), 10.213, 10.37

2.00 Credits
Introduces the complete design of the bioprocess: from vector selection to production, separation, and characterization of recombinant products. Utilize concepts from many fields, such as, chemical and electrical engineering, and biology. Student teams work through parallel modules spanning microbial fermentation and animal cell culture. With the bioreactor at the core of the experiments, students study cell metabolism and biological pathways, kinetics of cell growth and product formation, oxygen mass transport, scale-up and techniques for the design of process control loops. Introduces novel bioreactors and powerful analytical instrumentation. Downstream processing and recombinant product purification also included. Enrollment limited.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 5.310, 7.02, or 10.702; 7.05 or 5.07; or permission of instructor
