-
3.00 Credits
Learn industrial safety by reviewing actual case studies of events and incidents. The course studies major accidents, fires and explosions, environmental and biological disasters. Learn how much risk is acceptable by applying appropriate hazard and risk assessment analysis. The course also studies accident investigation procedures and methods of forensic engineering. Prerequisites: ChE/ME 320 or Chem 421, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers in detail the fundamental concepts of biological processes that are relevant to fermentation biotechnology and wastewater treatment engineering applications. The students first tackle the stoichiometry and kinetics of biochemical reactions and then use the obtained knowledge to evaluate and model biological processes. After taking this course you should be able to use your basic process understanding, modeling tools, and knowledge gathered from current literature in evaluating existing large-scale biological process plants. An additional project is required to obtain graduate credit. Prerequisites: CE (E64) 352A or equivalent, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A state-of-the-art industrial virtual plant is used for the development of dynamic simulations, selection of instrumentation, statistical analysis of variability, and implementation of process control to improve process operation and efficiency. Prerequisite: Math 217 and ChE 351.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to chemical reaction engineering principles and applications in process and product development. Evaluation of reaction rates from mechanisms and experimental data, quantification of pertinent transport effects and application to reactor and product design. Prerequisites: ChE 320, 351, 359, 366/367.
-
4.00 Credits
Laboratory experiments designed to illustrate the principles of transport (heat, mass, and momentum), thermodynamics, kinetics and reaction engineering, and separations that apply to chemical and biological systems. Experiments include traditional chemical engineering unit operations and emerging areas such as biotechnology, bioenergy, and materials. One laboratory period and one workshop are alternating once a week. Lecture session(s) on process engineering components and process safety are scheduled every week. Prerequisites: ChE 357, 366/367. Corequisite: 471.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed look at the chemical, catalytic, optical, electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials. Topics include the catalytic properties of metals and oxides; corrosion of metals; the interaction of light with solids; luminescence; photoconductivity; lasers; electrical conduction; semiconductors; piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials; and diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism. Prerequisite: ChE 325.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of engineering science and design; fundamentals of process and product development; computational techniques; and economic principles to design of chemical and biological processes and procedures. A design project and/or an AIChE national design contest is included. Prerequisites: ChE 320, 357, 366/367, 471, 473A.
-
1.00 Credits
Application of engineering science and design; fundamentals of process and product development; computational techniques; and economic principles to design of chemical and biological processes and procedures in solving the AIChE national student contest problem. Up to two single and up to two group (two to three per group) solutions may be chosen for national competition. Concurrent with ChE 478A. Prerequisites: ChE 320, 357, 366/367, 471, 473A.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and management of fire and explosion hazards. Control of human exposure to toxic materials. Codes, standards, and regulations. Transportation and disposal of noxious substances. Analysis of drift from clouds, flares, and stacks. Venting of pressure vessels. Hazard evaluation and safety review of processes. Emergency plans for accidents and disasters. Prerequisite: ChE 320 or Chem 421, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Interfacial phenomena play key roles in such industrial operations as emulsification, catalysis, and detergency. Introduction to principles of surface science. Particular attention to describing the nature of the liquid/gas, liquid/liquid, solid/liquid, and solid/gas interfaces. Specific topics include methods of measuring surface tension, interfacial adsorption, surface area and particle size determinations, dispersion stabilization/flocculation, emulsification, and wetting. Prerequisite: ChE 320 or permission of instructor.
