CHE 4110 - Unit Operations Lab I
Application of engineering analysis and statistics to the design of experiments with particular emphasis on continuous processes as typically encountered in the chemical engineering field . Lab practice to illustrate principles of selected unit operations, thermodynamics, and applied kinetics; and to aid student in gaining confidence in handling of chemical engineering equipment. Development of ability to devise and conduct chemical engineering experiments. Emphasis is placed on effective technical writing. This course is designated as a Foundations - Advanced Writing course.
