General Process Equipment

Uitgebreide vaknaam	General Process Equipment
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. acquire knowledge of types, design and use of GPE. 2. explain and motivate the required hardware parts of GPE. 3. select and calculate pumps, heat exchangers, reactors and columns and determine hardware requirements for operating GPE, based on its function. 4. define a control strategy of the GPE unit and read, understand and design process diagrams. 5. use Aspen software to support design decisions
Omschrijving	General process equipment function (such as pipes, pumps, compressors, heat exchanger, tanks and vessels, reactors, separation columns), type, design and operation will be elucidated during lectures and computer lab tutorials in addition to the required self-study on the subjects. Four assignments have to be executed to enhance equipment modelling and equipment design understanding. The engineering computer software Aspen will be introduced and course specific models will be used to enhance computer added equipment design and understanding. The course is completed with a final small project, including report and presentation. Engineering skills as part of the academic skills will be addressed. Special attention is paid to design of technical reports and presentation skills. Nestor will be used for support during the module and modeling assistance will be available

Opmerkingen	4 assignments: (50%) and 1 project (50%) in teams of usually 3 students. Assignments and project have to be at least 5.5. Project score consists of design skills (40%), report (40%), presentation (individually assessed, 10%), peer review (individually assessed, 10%). Max. one assignment can be repaired after the course, the project cannot. The course unit is always followed by the courses Special Process Equipment SPE and subsequently Process Design PD, where the learning objectives attained from GPE are required as prior knowledge
