Chemical Engineering Processes Laboratory I

Students are trained in basic chemical engineering processes, learn to operate experimental laboratory or semi-pilot devices, present their results in original technical reports and process of measurements exploiting the knowledge gained in their respective theoretical courses.

Objectives

Students are trained in basic chemical engineering processes, learn to operate experimental laboratory or semi-pilot devices, present their results in original technical reports and process of measurements exploiting the knowledge gained in their respective theoretical courses.

Prerequisites

To attend the course, students are encouraged to refresh their basic knowledge of the course Fluid Flow, Unit Operations, Mass Transfer, Chemical Process, and Chemical Reactor Design and Mass and Energy Balances.

Syllabus

The Chemical Engineering Processes Laboratory I contains seven exercises, four refer Unit Operations (Instructor C. Paraskeva) and three to Chemical Processes (Instructor D. Spartinos). The exercises are performed by groups of 3-4 students: Exercises of Unit Operations are: Gas Absorption Solid and fluidized bed Drag coefficient and viscosity Diffusion of liquids and gases The exercises of Chemical Process are: Study of Chemical Reaction Kinetics in Gas Chromatography. Residence time distribution in a stirred reactor. Catalytic Oxidation of Ethylene.
