Lecture by appointment.
368-369-370: Quantitative Analysis Laboratory:
2:30-5:30, M. W.
Chemistry 306-7-8 prerequisite.
A course in the principles of quantitative analysis. The laboratory work
will include a study of characteristic procedures, illustrating gravimetric and
volumetric analysis. 1 hour of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory per week.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Professor Yoe and Assistants.
321-322-323: Physical Chemistry:
12:30-1:30, M. W. F.
371-372-373: Physical Chemistry Laboratory:
2:30-5:30, T. Th.
Chemistry 306-7-8 prerequisite, as well as some knowledge of the Calculus and
previous training in Physics.
An introductory study of atomic structure theory, kinetic theory and the
principle of the conservation of energy form the foundations of the study of
gases, liquids, solids, solutions and rates of reaction. A brief study of the
direction of chemical change is then followed by the consideration of homogeneous
and heterogeneous equilibria. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Assistant Professor Spencer and Assistant.
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.
340-341-342: Applied Chemistry:
9:30-10:30, M. W. F.
Chemistry 309-10-11 and 321-22-23 prequisite.
The lectures and recitations in this course will be devoted to the study of
fundamental principles underlying the more important phases of industrial
chemistry, including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable
amount of reading in descriptive industrial chemistry will be assigned, and
written reports upon special subjects will be required. Lectures and recitations,
3 hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Associate Professor Hitchcock.
386-387-388: Chemical Engineering Research:
This course is designed for candidates for the Ch. E. degree and affords
an introduction to research methods. Fundamental problems will be selected for
study whenever possible from the field in which the student is particularly interested,
or from fields which are of importance in representative chemical industries
of the State, such as Rayon and Nitro-cellulose, Nitrogen Fixation,
Paper and Heavy Chemicals. The method of attack in general will be to reduce
the selected problem to laboratory scale leading to the collection of basic data
susceptible of definite interpretation, rather than to attempt special investigations
on semi-plant equipment which usually leads to merely empirical data. The use
of the chemical literature as an aid in conducting investigations accompanies
the laboratory work, as well as practice in the mathematical and graphical treatment
of the data obtained. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Associate Professor Hitchcock.
Advanced Courses: A number of advanced courses in Chemistry, not
listed above, are described in the catalogue of the College. When time permits,
students in Chemical Engineering, who are properly prepared, may take such of
these courses as are approved by the Faculty of Engineering.
The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in chemistry
are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.
