Educational Aims
To look in detail at the process of mass transfer in multi-component separation equipment. To equip students with basic design principles for the above equipment.Learning Outcomes
A2.3.1 be familiar with the application and limitations of a range of modelling approaches including first-principles models, simple empirical correlations, and artificial intelligence approaches
A2.4.1 Understand the most widely used unit operations of separation and mixing; particle technology; equipment sizing and performance; biological systems
A2.4.2 Understand and be able to use basic chemical principles to model the characteristics and performance of a range of typical mixing, separation, and similar processing steps for fluids, particulates and multi-phases.
A2.4.3 Understand the principles on which processing equipment operates to determine equipment size and performance of common items such as reactors, exchangers and columns
A2.4.4 Understand and be able to quantify the effect of processing steps upon the state of the material being processed, and its transformation to the end product in terms of its composition, morphology and functionality.
A2.6.1 Be able to identify the principal hazard sources in chemical and related processes (including biological hazards)
A2.6.2 Understand the principles of safety and loss prevention, and their application to inherently safe design
