054402  DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

OBJECTIVES

This course integrates all of the engineering knowledge acquired over the last six semesters of study. On completing the course, a successful student will be able to:

  • Carry out a detailed simulation of a chemical process using HYSYS and interpret the results

  • Design a train of separation units

  • Design a heat exchanger network (HEN) for a chemical process such that the maximum energy is recovered or the minimum number of exchangers is used

  • Suggest reasonable process control configurations using qualitative methods

  • Carry out a HAZOP analysis on a process P&ID

  • Formulate and solve linear optimization problems using linear programming and optimize small-scale processes using HYSYS
