7.1

Coordinator:

Professor David Boger and Ms Joan Gravina

Prerequisite/s:

Prerequisites or corequisites are 411-201 Transport Phenomena 1 and 411-102 Chemical Process Analysis 1 and 411-103 Chemical Process Analysis 2.

Timetable:

Semester 1

Contact:

39 hours, comprising 3 hours per week made up of 30 lectures and 9 tutorials

Objectives:

Students satisfactorily completing this unit will:

  • aware of the measurements made in a process plant and the instruments that are used;

  • able to follow the different types of flowsheet;

  • able to tackle ill-defined process problems using knowledge gained from other first and second- year subjects;

  • familiar with CHEMCAD or equivalent software for graphical flowsheet preparation.

Content:

Process control methods, types of measurement and instrumentation used in the chemical process industries. Applications of measurement instruments, functional elements used in the measurement of temperature, pressure flow and level. Class assignments involving material drawn from other Chemical Engineering subjects - typically: Process economics, flow-diagram preparation by hand and computer, Material and Energy Balance calculations, optimal solution of process equations, pipeline calculations.
