2: GRADING
The grading in ENGR 435 will reflect what is observed of your understanding of process systems operation. Evidence of this understanding can be observed in your
• ability to apply the principles to a physical system (performance in the laboratory and quality of results)
• ability to interpret, describe and explain experimental and modeling work (reports and presentations)
The weights given will be40 points Physical laboratory
(attendance, performance)30 points Reports30 points Presentations
Lab work will be graded on this scalepoints for Leadership Contributions
Participation CreativityCooperation Teamwork
0 points Absent
The semester grade will be determined by your point total90-up A80-89 B70-79 C65-69 D0-64 F
The following must be completed to receive a passing grade in the lab:2 reports, 3 presentations, performance descriptions and a submitted report notebook.

3: OBJECTIVES & GUIDELINES
ObjectivesThe main objectives of the laboratory experiences are to help you sharpen your skill in observing what happens to an engineering system and to accurately and completely describe what you observe.
Guidelines on Safety, Cleanliness, Conservation, Citizenship
We have had a number of years of experience with no lost-time injuries in this lab. Let's all do our part to make this year another one. In the event that someone is injured in the lab and is bleeding, before you help them, put on latex gloves that are available in the lab. Have someone show you where they are.
These labs are not routinely cleaned by the custodial workers. We have to keep them clean ourselves. Always leave the lab cleaner when you leave than when you arrived. If the trash cans are full, set them in the hall to be emptied. If an empty trash can is outside the door, bring it into the lab.
Around computer workstations, do not have food or drink. If you have food or drink elsewhere, please clean up your stuff. Recycle aluminum cans and Styrofoam containers. Rinse them first if there's grunge in them.
Conserve resources and money by printing only what is necessary for effective learning. If you print something that you don't need, place the paper in the "one-side-good" recycle stack to be reused. (Put the good side up.) If you are printing a draft, please use paper from the "one-side-good" stack.
Printers are not instantaneous. This lab has few printers and many users. During heavy use times, plan twice and print once. This will reduce frustrations. In the event you don't get a printout instantly, re-read this paragraph.
If you have any suggestions to improve this lab, pass it on to an instructor or assistant.

3: Objectives & Guidelines Page 7
Some other ways to look at course objectives from the professors' point of view:
Learn to make some measurements of physical parameters
Learn about errors in measurements
See applications of material and energy balances
Observe and quantify the performance behavior of some units
See and touch some equipment parts
See and hear some operating equipment
Learn to operate equipment and accumulate data
Apply basic principles to familiar and unfamiliar 'things'
Design experiments -- objectives, data analysis, communication
Communication skills development -- oral and written
Group skills development
Hands-on experience with unit operations
Experience will emerge as a "discovery" process, based on student-generated series of questions and trial and error. The student should determine/discover how the unit works
Get experience of the various measurements (temperature, pressure, flow rate, composition).
Reporting orally and in writing
Reviewing and editing reports

5. Assignments Page 22
EACH WEEK WORK STATEMENT
Each week that the lab meets, you are to submit a weekly Work Statement by noon on Friday. If you submit the statement on paper, you are to submit two copies of the statement; one each to Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Henry and Dr. Jones. You may submit the statement electronically from the 435 Web Site (http://chem.engr.utc.edu/435) and no need to duplicate it.
The Work Statement is to describe your activities in the lab and following the lab. It is to include the data you collected. The data must be presented clearly so that another engineer can understand it. It is to include any calculations and/or graphs that you have completed. Again, these must be presented clearly.

APPENDIX A2 STATISTICS
Variations in Measured Quantities(ENGR 322)
Every time an experimental measurement is taken, there is some error associated with the measurement. Today you are to determine the error in measurements in your system. Do this by taking steady-state measurements of the output function, C(t), for a number of data points. Find the mean and standard deviation of the measurements you make. Report your results as mean±2x(standard deviation). This range will include the true value of the function at a confidence level of 95%. Be aware that the standard deviation may be different at different operating points. Software packages like Excel can help a lot with the statistics.
The following graph shows how this statistical analysis could look. This graph is the measured output for a steady input.

APPENDIX A3 SSOC
System Operating Curve
For each value of a constant value of the input function, there will be a value of the output function; this is called the steady-state value of the output for that value of the input. A graph of the output function (on the ordinate) versus the input function (on the abscissa) is called a steady-state operating curve.
An example of what steady-state operating curves look like is below.

APPENDIX A4 INFORMATION
Information Flow
In the Figure below is a diagram that depicts the flow of information is the LabVIEW environment. The computer operator and the equipment transmitters provide inputs into the program. The program provides outputs to the pieces of equipment, the computer monitor and to data files on computer disks.
After using LabVIEW, the controller program, the data can be read by other programs, such as spread sheet programs (Excel, for examples) or graphing programs. Excel is available on the computers at UTC.

APPENDIX A5 HINTS ON LAB REPORT
Diagrams, Graphs, & Tables:The reason for putting diagrams, graphs and tables in a report is to organize information so that
it can be easily understood. However, the point that you want to convey in a diagram, graph or table may not be obvious to the reader or grader. You have to tell the reader or the grader what point you want him or her to see in the diagram, graph or table so that he or she doesn't miss that point. A good rule of thumb is to write 2 or 3 sentences for each diagram, graph or table to explain or describe the diagram, graph or table.
Figures:Try to size figures so they fit upright on the page. If you have to turn them sideways, remember
that the top of the figure goes to the left of the page.
See the examples below.Top
BEST
axis
O.K . BAD
Binder:The reports submitted are to have all your group's reports included in a binder. Put the newest in the front. Include the grading sheet with each report. Separate the reports with tabbed separators that are labeled to identify the reports.
"TJe":This is known as the "Thomas Jefferson Error." This is marked when you
write it's when you mean its. Both words are legitimate words, but they mean different things. It's is the contraction of the two words it is; its is a possessive pronoun that refers to an object.
6. Appendices Page 30
Contents of "Theory & Background"(by Jay Ware)
Brief review of systemThis should include a schematic diagram of your system with control elements labeled using the standard symbols in the appendix of S&C. The schematic diagram does not have to be pictorial, but is to show the functional relationships among the various components of the system. The block diagram should be included. The input and output functions should be clearly defined.
Discussion of Principles behind experiment
This should include the theoretical output for a given input.
Discussion of theory as applied to system
All variables for your system should be defined. Where you know the values of parameters (from previous measurements or reports) these are to be described in this section.
Brief summary of theoretical responseThis should consist of an explanation of how the system should respond based on theory. In the "Discussion" section, this theoretical response should be compared with experimental and/or approximate modeling response.
