324-325-326: Principles of Chemical Engineering:

11:30-12:30, 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.)
