Key points for preparation of Phase-II of FYP

Key consideration for preparation of Phase-II are as follows.

Accuracy of collected data

✓ Data used to calculate mass and energy balances is accurate and verifiable

Calculation of mass balance

✓ Pictorial representation of the system labeling all inputs and outputs for each component
✓ Choose a convenient basis for calculation
✓ Write the overall chemical reactions that takes place in the process
✓ Construct the material balance table
✓ Write the conservation of mass for each component and for the entire system.
✓ Demonstrate purge, recycle, mixing splitting with/without chemical reaction accurately

Accuracy of energy balance

✓ Presented the underlying assumptions behind Energy balance calculations
✓ Choose correct basis
✓ Calculation for the Cp and Cv values, heat of reaction, enthalpies etc.

Use of Computer Aided Tools

✓ MS Excel for Calculations
✓ MS Power Point for Presentation
✓ Any Simulation Software to simulate the Material/Energy Balance Calculation (Hysys,
Aspen Plus etc.)

Presentation skills
✓ Logical flow
✓ Eye contact with audience
✓ Elocution, and delivery
