Spring 2026 Laboratory Lecture Distance Learning Upper DivisionUse of process synthesis methods and concepts; detailed design of unit operation equipment, the economics of chemical plants and flow sheet optimization methods. Synthesize, develop, and evaluate a preliminary design of a chemical process that meets market requirements for a specific product. Analysis of design alternatives using case studies and optimization methods.
Learning Outcomes1Apply systematic strategies for synthesizing chemical process designs that involve conventional unit operations.
2Describe both the difference between steady state and batch chemical processes and the implications on their design and operation.
3Demonstrate the ability to obtain reliable information on industrial chemical processes, process operating parameters, equipment costs, cost of chemicals and materials, and associated safety and environmental hazards.
4Describe the role of physical property estimates on process design and be able to use appropriate physical property estimation methods in unit operations design.
5Estimate the capital and operating cost of a process and to assess its profitability.
6Use process simulators and other tools to perform detailed analyses for the successful design of a chemical plant.
7Communicate effectively project progress and final results in a professional manner both orally and in writing.
8Work effectively in a team to execute open-ended design projects with time-bound deliverables in a professional and ethical manner, including different team roles.
