Systematic procedure for the design of chemical processes. Open-ended problems, economic decision making, and profitability analysis. Invention of flow sheets for continuous production of chemicals in fluid phases; emphasis on procedures for rapid estimates of material and energy balances, the use of heuristics to estimate equipment sizes and costs, using initial cost estimates to revise and improve the design, sensitivity, and alternatives.
Open to Chemical Engineering majors only. Chem-Eng 320, 325, 330,333,338
