Lectures: Wed 11:30am-12: 50pm, Frid 1:10pm-2: 30pm SEC 210 Instructor: Marianthi G. Ierapetritou Engineering C-137 Busch Campus tel: (732) 445-2971, email: marianth@sol.rutgers.edu Teaching Assistant: Eric Semler Office hours: to be announced Email: ej_semler@yahoo.com Tel: 445-5511 Office Rm#: C001 Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide fundamental instruction on the mathematics and science associated with separation processes. This course will review techniques required to design the classical separation processes such as distillation, absorption and extraction. Rigorous and short-cut methods will be covered. Course Objectives:
Textbooks: Separations in Chemical Engineering: Equilibrium-Staged Operations By P.C, Wankat, Published by Prentice Hall, 1988. Separation Process Principles By J.D. Seader and E.J. Henley. Published by John Wiley & Sons, 1998. Software: CHEMCAD: This is a steady-state process simulator for chemical engineering design. It performs mass and energy balances, equipment sizing and costing and draws flow diagrams. It has an extensive thermodynamic property database. It is installed on all PC in the Microcomputer Lab (room C233). Login and run it by using the command CHEMCAD. Admission Tickets: To improve class participation, there will be an "admission ticket" due at the start of the class on Wednesdays for both those enrolled and for those auditing. The ticket is the solution (or attempt at a solution) of a short problem. It will be not be graded but failure to hand it in will be considered in the assessment of "class participation". For our guest auditors, failure to hand in the ticket will be considered bad form and punishable by not more than a slap on the wrist. These problems will be available on the web site at least two days ahead of the class. In many cases the problem will be worked during the lecture. For Friday classes the homework will be also serve as admission tickets. Assessment: Homework and Admission Tickets: 30%, Exams: 40%, Design Project: 30% Topics covered:
