COURSE SYLLABUS: CHEE 331, DESIGN OF UNIT OPERATIONS (W K-4.5)

PERSONNEL For an up to date list of personnel, please check the website.

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is part of the Engineering Design and Practice Sequence offered at the 3rd year level to

students following the Chemical Engineering CHE1 Option. Heat and mass transfer knowledge is applied

in the analysis and design of unit operations, including separation processes and heat exchanging

equipment. The equilibrium stage concept is used to perform calculations and size separation processes

including distillation, gas absorption/stripping and liquid-liquid extraction. Heat transfer processes are

taught with an emphasis on the design various types of heat exchanging equipment, including shell and

tube heat exchangers, condensers and reboilers. The chemical process design component of the course

involves a series of activities, dealing with the design of separation processes, heat exchanger sizing and

design, process hazards analysis, implementation of instrumentation and construction of piping and

instrument diagrams. In addition to choosing and sizing unit operations and implementing appropriate

process instrumentation, the students will learn to use simulation tools and will incorporate economics,

safety and environmental responsibility in all stages of the design. The course is integrated with CHEE

361 “Engineering Communications, Ethics and Professionalism.” (0/0/0/12/42)

PREREQUISITES: APSC 200 or APSC 202, APSC 293, CHEE 311, CHEE 321, CHEE 330, or permission of the

department.

COREQUISITE: CHEE 361

OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES This course develops the skills needed to design separation and heat transfer processes and to size/optimize related equipment.

COURSE STRUCTURE AND ACTIVITIES 4 lecture hours + 1 tutorial hour per week. Please refer to SOLUS for times and locations.

EXPECTATIONS FOR LECTURES/WORKSHOPS-TUTORIALS Lecture slides will be posted in advance through an online learning management system. These course

notes are incomplete, and lectures will include examples and problem solutions not contained in the

posted slides. Students are expected to read associated sections of their textbook and study online

resources that are provided, including the Chemical Engineering Design Wiki. Self-study problem sets in

the area of separations are available for each topic, with solutions posted online. These must be

completed as soon as each topic has been discussed in class.

Tutorials/workshops are intended to support the design project, which runs throughout the term.

Tutorial/workshop activities will be posted online. Students will be expected to come prepared, so that

they can gain optimum benefits from the activities that are done during the tutorial period. Some

tutorials will be held in the computer cluster to aid the students become familiar with the software tools

used in the course.

RELEVANCE TO THE PROGRAM This third year course is part of the engineering practice/design spine, which starts in first year and

culminates in the fourth year capstone process design course. Being a third year-level course, the focus

is on the development of competency in process design that is considered necessary to acquire

proficiency at the graduating level. The course assumes knowledge of 2nd and 3rd year core courses,

including engineering design and practice, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer and

thermodynamics.

HOW TO DO WELL IN THIS COURSE Design courses involve open-ended problems and are expected by their nature to have underspecified

aspects. Key to doing well in this course is the ability to integrate engineering science knowledge

acquired from this and previous courses together with principles of engineering practice, to design

systems, components or processes that meet specified needs.

To achieve this students are expected to utilize the concepts and to implement the methods that they

have learned throughout the curriculum and to integrate content learned in previous courses.

Students should make use of all resources available, including the textbooks, course notes, online

resources, solved problems available through the online learning environment, activities during

tutorial/workshops etc. Students are expected to submit professional reports, utilizing appropriate

engineering tools and communication methods, summarizing their work. They should work in groups

with a high degree of professionalism and integrity. Students are encouraged to seek mentoring from

instructors/teaching assistants and other teaching personnel, as applicable.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Engineers have a duty to:

Act at all times with devotion to the high ideals of personal honour and professional integrity

Give proper credit for engineering work

-Professional Engineers Ontario Code of Ethics, Section 77 of the O. Reg. 941

collaboration and teamwork, when conducted responsibly. We have however, set firm guidelines on the

quality of submitted work and have taken a strong stand against plagiarism and other forms of academic

dishonesty. Briefly stated, we expect that submitted work bears the name of all those contributing to it,

and that you do not allow others to copy your work.

Should a student’s submitted work be suspected of containing evidence of academic dishonesty, action

shall be taken, as required by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science policy on academic

integrity: http://engineering.queensu.ca/policy/Honesty.html
