Introduction to CHEN 5253-001 Process Design II Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering University of Utah Welcome Back • Hope you enjoyed your Holiday Break. • Your last Semester in Chemical Engineering! • Start the count down to the big paycheck! • Stay Healthy! There are some nasty influenza viruses out there. Design Sequence Design II is Different • – Open ended problems • – Requires creative thinking • – Projects with reports and deadlines that are strictly enforced. • – There is never one right answer! • There is a most cost effective and operationally functional answer, however. Course Description • CHEN 5253 Process Design II (3) • Prerequisite: CHFEN 4253 and 4903, Major standing. Computer-aided process design and simulation; solution of complex recycle processes and modeling of process equipment. Comprehensive design project leading to preparation of a process design and economic evaluation report. • M-W-F 8:35 AM-9:25 AM WEB L105 • Help Session ICC Friday 10-12 AM?? • HWs Due on Wednesday Midnight via Canvas Syllabus • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Prof. Terry A.

Students should be able to independently set up, solve, and explain solutions to all problems. Students are encouraged to discuss with other students about how to approach and solve the homework problems and develop process models. Although collaboration is encouraged, each student must perform his/her own work and submit a unique, individual memo report. No points will be given to students whose assignment submissions mirror those of other students. Syllabus – Legal Stuff There are more details on the Syllabus. • Addressing Sexual Misconduct • If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you are encouraged to report it to the Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, 135 Park Building, 801-581-8365, or the Office of the Dean of Students, 270 Union Building, 801-581-7066. • Accommodations Policy • Some of the writings, lectures or presentations in this course may include material that conflicts with the core beliefs of individuals. Please review this syllabus carefully to see if this course is one that you are committed to taking. If you have a concern, please discuss it with the instructor at your earliest convenience. • Academic Policies and Deadlines • Academic policies and guidelines from the College of Engineering, which include information about withdrawal procedures, are available online at the College of Engineering Academic Affairs web page. • Academic Misconduct • All instances of academic misconduct (Cheating) will be handled in accordance with the Student Code (http.//regulations.Utah.edu/academics/6-400.php) • Safety • https://safeu.utah.edu Course Description • Before Spring Break • Course content is divided into ten weekly subject areas after a review of process economics. Each subject area involves (1) weekly reading material and (2) a weekly homework assignment – All are memo reports. 6 weekly HW in all. • AICHE Contest Problem – 60 days • Max. 4 Member Team • Individual • Review of Process Economics • Process Creation and Process Simulation Heuristics • Reactors • Separation Systems • Reactor, Separation and Recycle • Effects of Impurities in Processes • Heat and Power Integration • Flow Sheet Optimization No Homework • Plant-wide Control • Sequential Batch Processing • Project Management Is Design Easy or Hard? Design is Easy! • Good Software • You don’t have to think so hard! • Many “right” answers • You are never wrong! • Everyone thinks that they can do it • Although few do it well • Some get fired for their designs! Design is Hard! • Needs to be practiced • Lots of rules • 53 Rules of Thumb just for Process Simulation • • • • • Lots of constraints Requires creativity Hyper focus on details Iterative process with lots of recycle loops Difficult to learn from books, lectures and videos • Experience is the only real teacher Design Constraints HW 1 – Determine CAPEX & OPEX &Profitability Mass & Energy Balance Equipment Information HW 1 CAPEX OPEX & Profitability • Equipment Costing • Profitability Analysis 4.0 Canvas Home Page • CHEN 5253-001 Spring 2018 • Welcome to the landing page for Process Design I.
