2015 Unit Guide

CHE3165

Separation Processes A comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of separation processes of interest to the chemical industry is covered. The fundamental principles of mass transfer are introduced and extended to include principles of interfacial mass transfer and simultaneous heat and mass transfer. General mass and energy balances are derived for equilibrium staged processes. The applications of these principles are made to the unit operations of distillation (binary and multi-component), liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid absorption and stripping, adsorption and ion-exchange, and membrane separation processes.

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW Program Education Objectives The Chemical Engineering discipline expects to produce graduates, who

1. have successful careers in Chemical Engineering discipline 2. engage in multicultural and globalized engineering teams 3. demonstrate career progression towards senior management and leadership positions

Program Outcomes The Chemical Engineering has developed a set of Program Outcomes (POs) for all of its graduates based on the Malaysian Engineering Accreditation Councils manual.

Program Outcomes Activities used in this unit to develop program outcomes

PO1 Engineering knowledge: Apply knowledge of science and engineering fundamentals, and achieve specialization in Chemical Engineering discipline;

Theoretical lecture material prescribed texts and recommended reading. Students will apply the fundamental principles in chemical engineering which include mass and energy balances as well as mass transfer in designing separation processes, such as distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid absorption and stripping, and gas adsorption.

PO2 Problem solving and analysis: Identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex engineering problems, and make appropriate conclusions;

Technical content of unit including distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid absorption and stripping, adsorption and ion- exchange. Students will analyse the design problems associated with the separation processes (namely distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid, absorption and stripping, adsorption and ion-exchange) and propose the engineering solutions. For example, students will be asked to design distillation process for an azeotrope-forming binary mixture.

PO3 Design/Development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems;

Completion of practice questions, laboratory work, and laboratory reports Students will develop skills in solving engineering problems related to design and operation of separation processes. The students are also required to develop experimental skills in operating and analysing the performance of a distillation unit.

Blooms Taxonomy: Three domains of educational activities have been identified under the general taxonomy known as Blooms.

o Cognitive: mental skills (Head) o Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Heart) o Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Hand)

The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. The affective domain includes the attitudes with which someone deals with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms and motivations. The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. Key for the table above: Psychomotor: P1 (Low), P2 (Medium), P3 (High), Affective: A1 (Low), A2 (Medium), A3 (High), Cognitive: C1 (Low), C2 (Medium), C3 (High)

Your Feedback to Us One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied with and areas for improvement.

Previous Student Evaluations of this Unit In response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:

The number of assignments has been reduced from five to three.
