MEE 599MTop. MEE: Introduction to Plant Design

This is an introductory course to chemical plant de- sign for mechanical engineers. The main objective of this course is to give mechanical engineers a survey of some of the methods and practices that chemical engineers employ in plant design. The course covers topics em- ployed normally by chemical engineers for designing chemical plants, which include the structure of chemical processes, economic evaluation, process circuit analysis and some chemical engineering calculations, and an introduction to °owsheet synthesis. These concepts will be illustrated on some selected plant design case studies. Prerequisistes: 5th year standing.
