DESCRIPTION
This unit will provide students with the knowledge and analytical skills to address issues of energy and waste management in processes, the concept of green chemistry and industrial ecology. This will be shown by practical examples to evaluate and analyse reactions and processes related to chemical engineering principles and sustainability.They will learn about smart heat exchanger networks (Pinch Analysis) to save process energy usage and how to re-use process mass (water and CO2) often met in process industry. The unit will also describe the expanding market for sustainable and renewable energy, their efficiency and feasibility of integration. This will be evident in the section of solar energy, power and fuels. This will expand to biofuels and hydrogen technology as renewable energy. The unit will also be describing how more recent nanotechnology can be made into a smarter, greener alternative technology in industry.
