On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Relate and compare the theory and operation of a range of separation methods.
Relate and apply the theory of simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes.
Show the gained practical skills in the design, construction, operation and simulation of simultaneous heat and mass transfer equipment.
Affective (Attitudes and Values)
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Develop a deep appreciation for the diversity of separation methods, recognizing the importance of selecting and applying the most suitable techniques for specific engineering scenarios, and challenge the selection of the most suitable separation technique/process.
Apply the theory behind simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes, recognize the foundational role of this knowledge in optimizing separation processes.
Demonstrate a commitment to critically comparing and relating various separation methods, understanding the importance of selecting the most efficient and sustainable processes based on specific engineering criteria.
Develop a respectful attitude toward simultaneous heat and mass transfer principles, recognizing their interconnected nature and their significance in optimizing energy utilization in separation processes.
Psychomotor (Physical Skills)
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Demonstrate proficiency in operating some separation equipment, showcasing precise control, monitoring, and adjustment of parameters to achieve optimal separation efficiency. Demonstrate through presentations the ability to choose and design suitable for any case separation unit.
