Outline and Purpose of the Course Students will learn fundamental skills of designing chemical processes which consist of various unit operations. A conceptual design exercise of a chemical process will be carried out using the knowledge of chemical engineering and process simulation system.
Course Goals It is requested to understand the way of conceptual design, and to have the skill of designing chemical processes by applying the knowledge of chemical engineering and related field.
Schedule and Contents Concept of process design,1time,The assembly of the optimally designed unit operations does not result in the total optimum system. The concepts of the system boundary and the total optimal design are explained.
Computer-aided process design,1time,In an actual process design, use of a process simulator is indispensable. The design technique using the sequential modular approach, which is mainly used in the process simulator, is explained.
How to use process simulators,2times,How to use the process simulator which is widely used in the real process design is explained.
Reality of process design,6times,Process design consists of successive steps such as the acquisition of market research and data, process synthesis, and an equipment design. For these steps, the problems which should be taken into consideration are made clear, and the techniques which can be used at each step are explained.
Practice of a chemical process design,1times,The design exercise is executed by 2 to 3 students' group.
Oral presentation,4times,The design result at each group is presented at the oral session where all the faculty members attend.
Evaluation Methods and Policy The results are evaluated by the contents of the final report and the oral presentation.
Course Requirements The basic knowledge of chemical engineering such as the unit operation and reaction engineering are requested.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) The design exercise is executed by 2 to 3 students' group.
Textbooks Textbooks/References Lecture materials are distributed in the class.
