CHE420 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY III

Course Objectives

This course utilizes a number of laboratoary experiments that

• Illustrate application of chemical and physical principles to chemical processes
• Describe mechanisms for mass transfer, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, process control and instrumental analysis

while emphasizing report writing and team work.

Course Content

Intensive laboratory experiments to illustrate the application of chemical and physical principles to chemical processes. Emphasis is given to mass transfer, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, process control and instrumental analysis. Report writing is emphasized.

Course Learning Outcomes

• Describe experimental goals, select experimental parameters and procedures;
• Apply experimental procedure, collect and record the data and make decisions when necessary;
• Follow the laboratory safety rules and recognize their importance;
• Describe and process the raw data for analysis by incorporating the simplifications and assumptions;
• Prepare diagrams, illustrations, and tables to present processed data;
• Discuss the results to emphasize the relevance between the results and theoretical aspects, the impact of assumptions, errors and uncertainties;
• Draw conclusions based on experimental aims and results;
• Compose well organized lab reports;
• Propose experimental parameters and procedures in a given topic to lead to designing their own experiments;
• Actively involve in teams during planning and organization of preliminary work, conducting the experiment and writing the report;
• Lead and organize the team;
• Have an awareness of environmental and ethical issues.
