CENG 122 is a course to develop familiarity and skill to perform
basic design procedures for equilibrium and some rate separation
processes.
In CENG 122, design and analysis of equilibrium stage
separations are mainly discussed. Computer-aided design will be
introduced. More advanced design
and analysis for multicomponent
systems amenable to computational methods and more recent advances
will be covered in CENG 124 A&B. Since we are
dealing with
equilibrium processes, review your thermodynamics (CENG 102) and
physical chemistry (Chem 131). Gas absorption in packed columnsis
a
differential contacting operation, which requires an understanding
of diffusion (CENG 103B). Many of the problems require numerical
solutions and will
use methods covered in CENG 100.

HOMEWORK
1. Problem sets will be assigned on Monday and due the following
Monday in class. Late homework will lose 25% until 5 pm Monday
and 50% until 5 pm Tuesday.
No points for homework turned in after
Tuesday . Discussion with classmates is acceptable, but not
collaboration.You
must do your homework individually.
No points will be given for
collaborative homework.
2. All graphs are to be presented on appropriate graph paper, properly labeled on the axis with units and titled. References must be cited for data.
3. Write on only one side of the page. Number the pages and staple them together. No other method of attaching pages will be accepted.
4. Many of the problems will be DESIGN problems. These problems require a solution with the following format:
Given - information given in the problem statement or from a CITED reference
Assumptions - state assumptions such as steady-state, equilibrium stage, ideal thermodynamics
Recommendation - the design solution
