Syllabus: This unit will not be available until 2007. To introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles of process design and synthesis, the use of flowsheet simulators (e.g. ASPEN PLUS) to assist in process design and the application of economics inventure 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 cost a basic chemical process in a simple design project.
 
** To ensure that the most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes appears, they will be provided in your unit outline prior to commencement. **
