Course contents :
|
| This course is organized as design workshops.
It consists in an integrated exercise putting in practice the knowledge's student in chemical processes, chemical engineering, applied thermodynamics and modelling.
Each group of students has to make a documentary research on one product: market and uses, specifications, ways of production, production capacity, raw materials, economical data, ...
The selection of one production process is then made.
After the evaluation of the required physical properties for the substances involved in the process, a simplified model of one production unit is made using a simulation software, in order to establish mass and energy balances. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| After the design workshops, the student will have
- Acquired a practical experience in process design by studying an open problem relative to professional practice. This will imply for him to make personal and rational choices when coping with redundant, insufficient or contradictory data
- Acquired a practical experience in using several process design and optimization softwares as well as tools to evaluate physical properties. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The course relies on knowledge in applied thermodynamics, chemical engineering, particularly unit physic operations, chemical reactors, chemical kinetics, process modeling, as taught in the option "chemistry and material sciences" course of the bachelor in civil engineering or the 1st master of chemical engineer. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The workshops are supervised by an instructor. The work has to be planned by the students, having a free access to computing ressources. The instructor is available at least 4 h/week. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Supervised workshops |

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The evaluation is based on report, whose the oral presentation and defense will be realized before a jury composed of members of the department of applied chemistry. |
|
Work placement(s) :

|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The literature review is proposed during the first quadrimester. Process modeling and balances calculations take place during the second semester, once the student have learnt to use simulation software in the CHIM0695 course. |
