Separations based on both equilibrium stage concepts and mass transfer rate control are addressed for a range of chemical process operations, including distillation, gas absorption, extraction, adsorption, and membrane-based processes. Design problems are conceived to require computer-aided modeling and analysis.
A continuation of CME 432. A laboratory course emphasizing more detailed experiments in fluid flow, separations, heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical reaction kinetics with more extensive data collection and analysis as well as a design component based on the experimental results.

A lecture and problem-based course on standards of sustainability, ethics, and safety as they relate to the engineering profession. Emphasis will be on global sustainability, safety in plant design, and safety practices and regulations in laboratory and plant operation. Sociologic issues inherent with air, water, and waste management and professional ethics will be addressed.
The application of differential and integral equations to traditional and non-traditional chemical engineering problems.
Overview of technologies used for generating electricity from location, recovery, transportation and storage of fuel to the types of technologies used to convert the fuel to electricity. Included is a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each technology and how they must adapt to be viable in the future. Technologies covered include coal, natural gas, nuclear, biomass, wind, solar and advanced technologies.
A lecture and problem-based course on chemical kinetics, chemical reactor design, and the interrelationship between transport, thermodynamics, and chemical reaction in open and closed systems. Students will construct models and employ mathematical tools to design reactors for a wide variety of chemical reaction systems.
