Syllabus: | To introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles of process design and synthesis, the use of flowsheet simulators (eg ASPEN PLUS) to assist in process design and the application of economics in venture analysis. The contents will includeprocess synthesis, process flowsheeting, unit operation models, freedom analysis of the process, tearing, flowsheet partitioning, design specification, optimisation and economic analysis. Familiarise students with the use of ASPEN PLUS in process design.Allow students to apply knowledge learned to design and cost a basic chemical process in a simple design project. |

Unit Outcomes: | The outcomes of this course enable students to understand basic concepts and principles of process synthesis and design, and to use flowsheet simulators in design, modelling and costing of equipment and plant as well as an economics analysis of the process. |
