324-325-326: Principles of Chemical Engineering:
9:30-10:30, M. W. F.
Chemistry 321-322-323 prerequisite.
A course designed to give the prospective chemical engineer a thorough
foundation in the unit operations. Regularly taken in the fourth year. Practice
in the application of the principles involved 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 unit operations in Chemical
Engineering. These subjects are followed by evaporation, humidification, drying
and distillation. Facility is developed in the stoichiometry of chemical industry.
Plant inspection trips are made from time to time. Lectures and recitations, 3
hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
