Course Objectives: This course is designed to teach students
methods to mathematically model and computer simulate any type of process or
equipment based on fundamental transport, kinetic, and thermodynamic
principles.
Grading:
Final grades are determined
on the basis of University bulletin criteria:
A Superior
B Good / not Superior
C Acceptable / not Good
D Passing / not Acceptable and not Failing
F Failing
Homework: Homework is due at the beginning of the class. Late homework
will not be accepted without a medical excuse or other written university excuse.
Standard format for ChE Homework is to be used.
Credit will be lost for sloppy or unclear work. Homework will be graded by a
Chemical Engineering Graduate Student (TA). In the case of credit or other
disagreement, please contact the grader, GTA.
