CHE 234 Process Design II
Dynamic simulation of the steady state structure obtained in CHE 233. Group design projects. Prerequisites: (CHE 211 and CHE 242 and CHE 244 and CHE233)
CHE 233 Process Design I
Design of chemical plants incorporating traditional elements of engineering economics and synthesis of steady-state flowsheets with (1) both heuristic and rigorous optimization methods and (2) consideration of dynamic controllability of the process. Economic principles involved in the selection of process alternatives and determination of process capital, operating costs, and venture profitability. Energy conservation, pinch techniques, heat exchanger networks, and separation sequences. Considerations of market limitations, environmental and regulatory restrictions, and process safety. Use of modern computer aided software for steady-state and dynamic simulation and optimization. Group design projects. Prerequisites: (CHE 211 and CHE 242 and CHE 244)
