REQUIREMENTS FOR PROJECT 2 (CHE499): CHE 498
Project Title: suggested title for the project
REQUIREMENT FOR PROJECT 1 (CHE498): 32 HOURS
Objective of the project: TO apply c principles of Chemical
Engineering learnt over the previous years (mass and energy
balances, heat and mass transfers, separation process, reactor
eng, economics, thermodynamics, etc…)
– Project must be related to a design of a plant or part of a plant
and must include mass and energy balances, as well as design
of equipment, study of safety and environment aspects and cost
calculations.
