Aims
This module allows students to study important chemical engineering principles in the laboratory. The experiments demonstrate important concepts from the Fluids, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Dynamics & Control and Mass Transfer modules, and Heat exchangers. It provides students necessary knowledge and practical skills, including basic laboratory practice and safety, and lab report writing.
Outline Of Syllabus
Laboratory Projects:
Students will complete and write reports on an experiment from each of the following areas: Transfer Processes, Control, Reactor Engineering, Separation Processes, Heat Exchangers, Thermodynamics and Renewable Energy.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Assessment is used to measure the understanding and the acquired practical ability students gain in understanding and carrying out experiments.
During the semester each group (of 2 students) will complete 3 labs.
As labs are completed students record data and results in their lab books.
Students will then be allocated three reports to write up. Major reports are to consist of maximum 5 pages including diagrams and charts.
Students are required to achieve a pass mark (40%) to successfully complete this module. A student failing the module will have to resit for the module.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
