After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
- Integrate chemical engineering knowledge, including from industrial and research, to construct a unit design using rigorous calculation by selecting appropriate mathematical modelling tools and software (A2.3a, A2.3c, A4.2c, A4.3b, A5.2a, A5.2b) [CLO: I3]
- Formulate a sensitivity analysis to quantify the effect of incomplete data and uncertain justifications on the design (A4.3b) [CLO: P2]
|
| Aims: | This unit will introduce you to the short-cut and rigorous design, and optimisation of unit operations on chemical or biochemical process plant.
