Description

Laboratory and pilot-plant experiments, design and analysis of experiments using statistical methods, and computational tools useful for analysing data.

Learning Outcomes

  • Practical demonstration of hardware, concepts and phenomena in relation to the broader context of a process engineering system.
  • Solve open ended chemical engineering problems by researching, designing, planning and conducting experiments.
  • Gather, manage, interpret and use experimental information appropriately.
  • Effective communication using a variety of formats to a variety of audiences.
  • Function effectively in a team environment by working cooperatively with your lab partner

Prerequisites

Timetable Note

During the course you and your lab partner will do 5 experiments with all reports being written individually. All lab reports must be submitted to complete the course. 50% of your grade will be deducted for a late submission

Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage  Description
Formal Report 10% Lab F - Distillation A short industrial report to immediate superior.
Management Report 1 20% LabB - Heat Exchanger Reports to management (due 1 week after the lab) Semester 1, term 2
Management Report 2 20% Lab C - Spray Drier Reports to management (due 1 week after the lab) Semester 2, term 3
Short Formal Report 1 35% LabD - Fermentation lab A longer in depth analysis of results. Students will supplement their fermentation data with class data and perform augmented statistical analysis. Final report will be submitted ~4 weeks after the experiment
Short Formal Report 2 10% LabE Membrane filtration A rapidly-executed industrial report to immediate superior. The report is due on the same day that the lab is completed.
Workshop 5% LabA - P&ID Drawing A lab on P&IDs of CAPE's distillation column (approx 2 hours). Semester 1, Term 1


• 6 laboratory days with contact time 3-6 hours each, time of report preparation 10-25 hours for different report styles, total 130 hours
• Lecture attendance (approximately 15 hours)

All information about academic policies (e.g. special consideration, dishonest practice) can be found on the ENCH-Undergraduate LEARN page .

RELATION TO OTHER COURSES
This is a compulsory course for Chemical and Process Engineering. This course builds on the skills acquired in second year chemical engineering laboratories, extending the range of reporting, allowing the student to take more initiative, and generally increasing the size of the plant used to pilot scale. The experiments are related to other ENCH 300 series courses currently being studied.

Additional Course Outline Information

Attendance

Must attend all labs.

Where to submit and collect work

Reports need to be submitted electronically via Learn and a hardcopy should be handed in the box “ENCH395 CAPE Labs” at the entrance to the CAPE department level 4 LINK Building. If you wish to extend the deadline for handing in your lab report and have a good reason contact or see Alfred Herritsch.
