Chemical Engineering Processes 2

The module is aimed at developing student's understanding of the design on advanced separation and reaction processes and enhancing student's ability to apply learned fundamental knowledge to chemical and petroleum processing applications. In separat ion part, more complex separation problems such as separation of multi-component mixtures by distillation and gas absorption are studied, together with adsorption and solvent extraction. The design of column internals is also be covered. The advanced reaction engineering section covers heterogeneous catalysis, heat transfer in chemical reaction and mass transfer with chemical reaction. It also introduces 2 School of Engineering fermenter design and non-ideal reactors, and the appropriate operational and control strategies to maximise yield and productivity.
The module is suitable for students taking the BEng (Hons) or MEng in Chemical Engineering, with previous knowledge of Thermodynamics; Fluids and Separation; Chemical Engineering Processes 1.
