Description
Aims:
- To provide an understanding of the principles of fluid separation processes;
- To develop skills in the design of practical fluid separation equipment in the context of sustainability and sustainable development;
- To provide a basic understanding of process simulation
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should:
- be able to understand the mass and heat transfer phenomena involved in fluid processes;
- be familiar with the procedures for the design of fluid separation equipment in the context of sustainability and sustainable development;
- be able to select an appropriate fluid separation process to meet a required separation performance;
- be able to simulate simple steady-state process flowsheets and mass transfer operations
Synopsis:
