Examines the methods of process engineering used to achieve the best overall processing systems and includes; synthesis of processing alternatives; structure of process system; process economics; optimization applications and methods; engineering in the presence of uncertainty; simulation approach to difficult processing situations; problem assignments; involving class discussion, with special emphasis on a knowledge of chemical processes. Process safety and hazard analysis will also be discussed. A term paper will be required. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursNote: Students with credit for CHE 325 will not receive credit for this course.
