2. Welcome Back Hope you enjoyed your Holiday Break.
Your last Semester in Chemical Engineering!
Start the count down to the big paycheck!
Stay Healthy! There are some nasty influenza viruses out there.

3. Design Sequence

4. Design I and II are Different
– Open ended problems
– Requires creative thinking
– Projects with reports and deadlines that are strictly enforced.
– There is never one right answer!
There is a most cost effective and operationally functional answer, however.

5. Course Description CHEN 5253 Process Design II (3)
Prerequisite: CHFEN 4253 and 4903, Major standing.    Computer-aided process design and simulation; solution of complex recycle processes and modeling of process equipment. Comprehensive design project leading to preparation of a process design and economic evaluation report.

7. Syllabus - Grading No Final Exam (only a final Design Report)
Homework:
Weekly Design Reports (Submit via Canvas) 50%
Comprehensive Design Report
Planning and Weekly Status Report Memo’s 5%
Written Report of Comprehensive Design Project 45%
Submitted via Canvas
(The comprehensive design report can be a team activity.)
Students should be able to independently set up, solve, and explain solutions all problems. Students are encouraged to discuss with other students about how to approach and solve the homework problems and develop process models. Although collaboration is encouraged, each student must perform his/her own work and submit a unique, individual memo report. No points will be given to students whose assignment submissions mirror those of other students.

10. Is Design Easy or Hard? Good Software Many “right” answers
Design is Easy!
Design is Hard!
Good Software
You don’t have to think so hard!
Many “right” answers
You are never wrong!
Everyone thinks that they can do it
Although few do it well
Some get fired for their designs!
Needs to be practiced
Lots of rules
53 Rules of Thumb just for Aspen
Lots of constraints
Requires creativity
Hyper focus on details
Iterative process with lots of recycle loops
Difficult to learn from books, lectures and videos
Experience is the only real teacher
