CHBE 305: COMP METHODS CHEMICAL ENGIN

National University of Singapore

ME3291: Numerical Methods in Engineering

This elective course introduces students to fundamental concepts of numerical analysis as a powerful tool for solving engineering problems. Basic concepts of errors, Taylor series, matrix methods, and curve-fitting techniques will be introduced, with emphasis on simple examples and applications derived from mechanical engineering disciplines. Brief introductions to the finite difference and finite element methods will be given. The treatment will primarily use the Laplace and Diffusion equations as illustrations of analysis familiar to mechanical engineers. The course will also introduce the use of the software Matlab as a tool for the solution of numerical problems.

CHBE 310: INTRO BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING

National University of Singapore

CN4247R: Enzyme Technology

The aim of this model is to provide students with knowledge on enzyme technologies for industrial production of chemicals via biotransformation. This module will start with general introduction about enzyme, enzymatic transformation, and enzymatic process. It will be followed by various components in the development of an enzymatic process: enzyme classes and enzymatic reactions; enzyme discovery and high-throughput screening and detection methods; enzyme purification, characterization, structure, function, and selectivity; protein engineering; cell engineering; biotransformation with isolated enzymes and microbial cells; reaction engineering; enzyme in organic solvent, two-liquid phase system, and enzyme stabilization; cofactor regeneration; and product recovery. Finally, the students will learn process economics and industrial examples on the enzymatic production of fine chemicals.

CHBE 343: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING LAB I

Bogazici University

CHE 302: Chemical Engineering Lab

Chemical Engineering Laboratory I, i.e., ChE 302, aims to familiarize the students with some of the basic concepts of chemical engineering and concentrates mostly on fluid mechanics, heat transfer, reaction engineering, process control and modeling, and mass transfer experiments. Another major aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the concepts of accuracy and precision as well as the fundamentals of the application of statistics in engineering experimentation as it is related to model building, model parameter estimation and experimental design. This part of the course is introduced mostly in the one-hour lecture period held each week.

Explores introductory concepts of fluid mechanics and fluid statics, fluid properties, basic equations of fluid flow, flow of compressible and incompressible fluids in pipes and other shapes, velocity distribution, laminar and turbulent flow, flow past immersed bodies and dimensional analysis.


CHBE 402: TRANSPORT PHENOMENA II

Hong Kong UST

CENG 3220: Heat and Mass Transfer

This course aims to introduce the rate equations for two of the most important transport processes in Chemical Engineering, namely, heat and mass transfer. Students will be able to predict the rates of molecular transport processes in simple geometries, i.e. conduction and molecular diffusion using both analytical and numerical methods. For the convective processes, they are expected to be able predict the heat and mass transfer coefficients by taking the analogy with momentum transfer process based on Process Fluid Mechanics. At the end of the course, they will be able to apply the rate equations to design simple heat exchangers and continuous contact mass transfer columns.

Studies first, second and third law of thermodynamics and their application in chemical engineering; volumetric properties of pure fluids; definitions and use of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and free energy; Maxwell relations; ideal and real cycles and processes; refrigeration and liquefaction.


CHBE 443: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING LAB II

National University of Singapore

CN3108: Chemical Engineering Laboratory II

This module provides the second laboratory experience to students in chemical engineering processes and biologics manufacturing. Teamwork, technical communication skills, oral presentation and problem-solving skills are further emphasised. The experiments covered are related to chemical kinetics and reactors, heat and mass transfer, fluid-particle systems, and biologics manufacturing. The importance of safety continues to be emphasised through rigorous implementation of proper operational and waste disposal procedures. The practical experience in fault diagnosis, instrumental analysis, data logging and processing, error analysis and data validation, and operation of process units gained in CN2108 are reinforced and extended further.
