324-325-326: Principles of Chemical Engineering:
10:30-11:30, M. W. F.
A course designed to give the prospective chemical engineer a thorough
foundation in the basic principles of his profession. The course is intended for
candidates for the Ch. E. degree, but may be taken by fourth-year students in
special cases. The unit operations of chemical industry are studied from the
standpoint of the chemical and physical principles involved. Practice in the
application of these principles is given by the solution of numerous type problems
in which quantitative treatment is emphasized. Attention is first devoted
to a detailed study of flow of fluids and flow of heat, since these topics are
fundamental in the subsequent development of evaporation, distillation, and
power generation. These subjects are followed by sub-division of solids, mechanical
separation, filtration, humidification, absorption, and extraction. Facility
is developed in the stoichiometry of chemical industry. Lectures and recitations,
3 hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Associate Professor Hitchcock.
