To introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles of process design and synthesis, and the use of flowsheet simulators (eg ASPEN PLUS) to assist in process design, and the application of economics in venture analysis. The contents will include process 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 costing of a basic chemical process in a simple design project.
