CHE 4310 - Chemical Engineering Process Design II


Continuation of 4300. Preliminary design of a chemical process. Process synthesis, computer flowsheeting, layout, safety, and economics. Also involves the assessment of skills from explicit and implicit prerequisite courses.

Requisites: CHE 4200 and 4300
Credit Hours: 3
General Education Code: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 recitation
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:  

  • Students will be able to analyze and produce the various flow diagrams used to describe chemical engineering processes.
  • Students will be able to apply material and energy balances to current or proposed chemical processes.
  • Students will be able to utilize a chemical process simulator to design a process, including selecting the appropriate thermodynamic model.
  • Students will be able to apply transport and unit operation principles to the selection of appropriate equipment for a chemical process.
  • Students will be able to sequence, size, and cost a separation train based on standard heuristics and process principles.
  • Students will be able to apply the concepts of Inherently Safer Design to a chemical process.
  • Students will be able to identify the safety hazards in a chemical process in the areas of flammability, reactivity, and toxicity.
  • Students will be able to determine profitability using the techniques of return on investment, payback period, net return, net present worth, and discounted cash flow rate of return to project a selling price for a specific product.
  • Students will be able to identify the ethical and professional responsibilities associated with chemical engineering design.
  • Students will be able to produce a professional memo in appropriate format and style.
  • Students will be able to make a professional presentation in appropriate format and style.
  • Students will be able to participate effectively in a team completing a chemical process design through leadership and individual contributions.
