I-36
Detailed Schedule
Students work in teams of four or five, performing a total of seven experiments during the
quarter. Each team must prepare a detailed written report for each experiment that includes: (1)
description of the experiments performed, materials and equipment used, and summary of data
collected; (2) analysis and interpretation of the data, with appropriate graphical and
computational results to support conclusions; (3) design extension. The design extension is an
additional problem posed by the instructor that requires each team to propose a modification of
their process to conditions or applications different than those studied in the lab.
There are a total of fourteen experiments currently available in the unit operations laboratory.
These are: (1) shell and tube heat exchanger; (2) plate heat exchanger; (3) continuous
distillation; (4) pulse liquid/liquid extraction; (5) CSTR reaction engineering; (6) plug-flow
reaction engineering; (7) gas-solid fluidization; (8) gas-solid-liquid fluidization; (9) absorption;
(10) adsorption: (11) reverse osmosis; (12) drum filtration; (13) conductive heat transfer; (14)
mixing dynamics.
For each experiment, one student is assigned the role as team leader. This position rotates
throughout the quarter so that all students are team leader at least once. One of the team
leader's responsibilities is to fairly and accurately evaluate the performance of other members of
the team.
Safety is stressed throughout the course. Each week a safety inspection/evaluation committee
is formed, comprised of one student from each team. This committee is responsible for assuring
that the laboratory activities of all teams during that week are done safely and responsibly. One
of these committees does a full safety inspection of the Chemical Engineering Department at
some time during the quarter. This inspection includes graduate research laboratories and the
committee issues a written report to all faculty and graduate students citing safety violations and
concerns. The Department Safety Committee performs the follow-up to insure that corrective
actions are taken. Students are penalized on their lab grades for minor safety violations or
professional misconduct. Intentional or malicious violation of safety rules results in immediate
dismissal from the course.
