Study Programmes 2015-2016
CHIM0680-1  
Introduction to industrial processes
Duration :
10h Th, 10h Pr, 5h Proj.
Number of credits :
Bachelor in engineering2
Master in chemical and materials engineering (120 ECTS)2
Lecturer :
Marie-Noëlle Dumont, Dominique Toye
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
The course introduces the fundamental principles relative to the analysis of mass, energy and momentum balances in industrial processes
Learning outcomes of the course :
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
  • understand and exploit the fundamental principles relative to the analysis of balances in industrial processes
  • use the general resolution methodology to resolve mass balance problems linked to industrial processes of increasing complexity
Exercise sessions will help the students to develop more transverse skills as team-working, use of numerical methods and software tools to resolve problems
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
The "Chimie" (CHIM0603-1) and "Élements de thermodynamique" (CHIM0286-1) courses (or courses with similar contents) should have been attended during previous years (or they should be attended the same year)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
The course is based "ex-cathedra" lectures and practical courses (10 hours + 10 hours).
Optional "questions & answers" sessions are proposed during the spring term
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to face
Recommended or required readings :
Copies of the theoretical course slides and of the exercises will be available on eCampus at the begining of the spring term
Assessment methods and criteria :
Personnal work in small group (mass balance on a complete process) and resolution of a problem.
Work placement(s) :
Organizational remarks :
The course is organized during the spring term.
