CHEN 405 - Process Engineering

Course Description:
The following process engineering subjects are covered: diagrams used in process engineering (block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams and process and instrumentation (P&I) diagrams); unit operations of chemical engineering (an overview of fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer operations); sizing of typical equipment (process lines, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, two and three phase separators and fractionation towers). The course includes presentation of a typical mechanical design following a detailed process design and, time permitting, an introduction to computer based design programs such as Hysys and Pipesys.
