Ó Súilleabháin, Cilian; Foley, Greg – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
Membrane separation processes, from reverse osmosis to ultrafiltration to microfiltration, are gradually receiving more and more emphasis in undergraduate chemical engineering curricula. Of these processes, ultrafiltration tends to be the most amenable to the standard chemical engineering approach of theory development, mass and/or energy…

Scholes, Colin A.; Hu, Guoping – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
A practical for students to experience a process plant is presented, based on operating a solvent absorption plant for carbon dioxide capture. The student must operate the plant in assigned roles that closely identify with a chemical plant environment, to achieve specific performance targets. Students must overcome technical challenges that…

Shacham, Mordechai; Brauner, Neima – Chemical Engineering Education, 2017
Chemical engineering problems often involve the solution of systems of nonlinear algebraic equations (NLE). There are several software packages that can be used for solving NLE systems, but they may occasionally fail, especially in cases where the mathematical model contains discontinuities and/or regions where some of the functions are undefined.…

Gutiérrez Ortiz, Francisco Javier; Fitzpatrick, John J.; Byrne, Edmond P. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
The engineering graduate of today will engage in a career which will span the middle of the twenty-first century, and beyond. They will work in a world which is increasingly more complex and uncertain than at any time before. This will require an integrated combination of technical knowledge and transferable skills and values, to a greater extent…

Benson, Tracy J.; Richmond, Peyton C.; LeBlanc, Weldon – Chemical Engineering Education, 2013
An industrial-type distillation column, including appropriate pumps, heat exchangers, and automation, was used as a unit operations experiment to provide a link between classroom teaching and real-world applications. Students were presented with an open-ended experiment where they defined the testing parameters to solve a generalized problem. The…

Foley, Greg – Chemical Engineering Education, 2014
A problem that illustrates two ways of computing the break-even radius of insulation is outlined. The problem is suitable for students who are taking an introductory module in heat transfer or transport phenomena and who have some previous knowledge of the numerical solution of non- linear algebraic equations. The potential for computer algebra,…

Senra, Michael; Fogler, H. Scott – Chemical Engineering Education, 2014
In their collegiate studies, students are given a wide range of concepts, theories, and equations to assist them in their future endeavors. However, students have not been sufficiently exposed to practical critical thinking methodologies that will benefit them as they encounter open-ended problems. A course developed at the University of Michigan…
