This module provides practical experience of conducting bench-scale experimental studies on a variety of systems (comprised of both apparatus and contents) in order to observe, record and characterise the behaviour of these systems under specified conditions. Students are typically required to determine factors which may influence a system¿s overall response, for example, experimental results can be linked with theory (from lecture-based modules or equivalently from directed reading) to determine physical or thermochemical properties of materials, or, to evaluate how such properties influence the performance of the system. Wider analysis aims to link and develop skills in data acquisition and processing, error analysis, and interpretation of experimental results. As a component part of these studies, students will build experience of conducting experiments in a laboratory environment, documenting results, organisation and communication of experimental results and analysis through both tabular and graphical formats accompanied by written discussion; this being evidenced first through maintenance of their own laboratory notebooks and secondly through technical report writing exercises.

Principles of Chemical Engineering Design
To provide a platform of study for a broad range of principles which underpin Chemical Engineering Design.
EG-M91J
MSc Design Project (January intake)
This module aims to take MSc students, who arrive with a variety of backgrounds, and carry out an advanced, in-depth design of a novel manufacturing process. The course will be composed of lectures and independent project work, and will start in Semester 1 by developing the necessary background skills for process design and process synthesis, to then focus on more specific topics that deal with the use programming tools to support decision-making. Taught topics include: mass and energy balances, ASPEN simulations, costing, life cycle analysis, market analysis etc. In parallel with the taught aspects, students will be expected to start researching into an appropriate compound for manufacture. The project itself requires the students to develop an innovative design for a plant to make a molecule for which no large scale production facility exists. The molecules to be produced need to be selected on the following characteristics: they should not be manufactured on a large capacity production facility (there may however be small scale production) and an outline of a manufacturing process including basic chemistry exists somewhere. The project will require the students to make choices and judgments on: the production capacity, time of operation, raw materials to use, production process, and benefit of the molecule to the company (i.e. economic, extending the knowledge base etc). As design is essentially a team exercise working well as a team is critical to successfully completing this project.
EGA102
Chemical Process Analysis and Design
Students are required to tackle a variety of engineering problems and to work within a team to deliver results. This module tests a variety of fundamental engineering skills, highlights the importance of basic project management skills and serves to provide experience of working in partnership with others. Projects are student-led with support and feedback available from the staff during project classes. The module considers the formulation of both material and energy balances for operations which involve either recycle or by-pass systems, and is aligned with key concepts introduced in EG100 (Chemical Process Principles). The module also considers vapour-liquid equilibria with application to the basic design of unit operations. These concepts are then used to assist the design a manufacturing process and students are encouraged to further assess the safety impact of their chosen design. The team design project leads to the production of a design report which is the major assessed component within the module.
> Students will be required to complete a review which provides assessment of the team and individual team member performances.
