Module Overview
Based on the process design completed during the autumn semester students will complete the design of a specified item of equipment.
Prerequisites/Co-requisites
Progression requirements from level HE2 and module ENG3107 or equivalent.
Module Aims

To allow an individual student following either the Chemical & Bio-systems Engineering or the Chemical Engineering programmes the experience of integrating design methods taught in earlier modules by completing the detailed design of a single item of plant.
Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the module, students should:

  • Be aware of the factors involved in completing the mass and energy balances and detailed sizing of a single item of equipment and the also of the design codes applying to detailed equipment design,.
  • Understand the fundamental chemical and physical phenomena associate with the equipment being designed and the mathematical models used to characterise such phenomena.
  • Know that the materials of construction, method of fabrication and means of transportation may affect selection of process parameters,.
  • Be able to convert a design brief into a feasible equipment design procedure applying the understanding from 2) above and apply this procedure with confidence
  • Understand the interaction between process requirements and practical equipment design.
Module Content

The application of equipment design procedures.
Methods of Teaching/Learning

Small group tutorial classes and individual discussion with supervisory staff.

Total student learning time 200 hours.
