CHNG2801: CONSERVATION AND TRANSPORT PROCESSES

Semester 1, 2014 | 6 Credit Points | Mode: Normal-Day Coordinator(s): Soryong Chae 1. INTRODUCTION
In the design and analysis of chemical processes, chemical engineers have to understand integrated concepts in conservation of mass and energy, properties of fluids, heat transfer and the mass transfer of chemical species through the processes. This is true not only in traditional chemical engineering areas such as petrochemicals, but also for emerging fields like micro-reactors and biotechnology. This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts in transport phenomena necessary for subsequent courses ranging from unit operations to reactor design and reaction kinetics. The course builds on concepts from elementary physics and chemistry, as well as calculus and differential equations. This module will provide students with working knowledge of conservation of mass and energy, momentum, mass and energy transfer, and non-reaction rate processes. These aspects are a first step to the understanding of transport phenomena. It considers the classification of fluids and their properties. The integral and differential forms of the fundamental equations continuity, momentum and energy equations are studied. The concepts of transfer rates of momentum, heat and mass as functions of appropriate driving forces divided by appropriate resistances will be introduced. The way in which such resistances and driving forces are defined will be reviewed. An aim of this unit of study is to provide theoretical support for other core units of study, particularly CHNG2803 through being able to apply the principles of conservation and transport processes to any problem. This unit of study also uses techniques that will be taught in CHNG2802, particularly the techniques for predicting the flows in piping networks.

2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning outcomes are the key abilities and knowledge that will be assessed in this unit. See assessment summary table below for details of which outcomes are assessed where. Outcomes are listed according to the course goals that they support. Project Management and Team Skills (Level 1) 1. Students will be able to manage group projects for reporting in both written and oral English. Engineering/IT Specialisation (Level 2) 2. Deriving the differential and integral forms of the continuity and momentum equations for steady/unsteady, compressible/incompressible, viscous and inviscid flows. 3. Solving simple fluid flow, heat and mass transfer problems by using the relevant principles. In particular, the concept of a rate as a driving force divided by a resistance should be clear in the process of forming a solution to problems in this area. 4. Demonstrating the use of dimensional analysis (friction factors, heat and mass-transfer correlations) in order to generalise the understanding of all these rate processes. 5. Demonstrating an understanding of the difference between random molecular movement (diffusion and conduction) and bulk flow (convection), and where these different types of transport occur, why, and how to analyse them. Maths/Science Methods and Tools (Level 2) 6. Understanding fluid properties and defining a fluid. 7. Demonstrating an understanding of conservation of mass and energy. 8. Understanding the basic principles of mass, energy and momentum balances. Communication (Level 2) 9. Students will be able to compile a concise, informative engineering report. For further details of course goals related to these learning outcomes, see online unit outline at http://cusp.eng.usyd.edu.au/students/view-unit-page/alpha/CHNG2801 .

5. STUDY COMMITMENT
Tutorial: After each lecture, there will be 2-hour tutorial on Thursday. Students will solve various problems relevant to the topics of the lecture. Independent Study: Students are expected to spend about 3-4 hours of self directed learning outside the specified contact periods. Laboratory: Groups will be allocated in week 4. Each group will conduct 2 experiments. The report should be submitted after two weeks. There will be oral presentation for one of the experiment. Presentation: Each group will present the outcomes of their research and experimental work. It is expected that each group conduct a critical thinking and analyse the data acquired from the experiments and discuss about the errors.
