Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] In this course, laboratory experiments on chemical engineering, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and polymer chemistry will be instructed for the junior students, who studied Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry Laboratories I and II. The following six themes in these fields are set: (1) “Fluid flow” for learning the basic concepts on analyzing flow phenomena, (2)"Heat transfer" for learning the basic treatment on heat transfer by a double-pipe heat exchanger, (3) “Organic reaction” for learning operation skills on organic reactions of carbonyl compounds, (4) "Electrochemical reaction" for learning basic concepts on chemical equilibrium and reaction kinetics by cyclic voltammetry experiment, (5)"Addition polymerization" for learning basic skills on radical polymerization and elementary reaction, and (6) “Polycondensation” for learning reaciton and characterization of polyamic acid and synthesis of Nylon-6,10, and synthesis, characterization and thermal stability measurement of poly(pyromellitic diimide).
[Aim of the course] To understand important operations and reactions in chemical industry, it is essential to perform experiments actually and to consider the results on your own. In this course, following Chemical Engineering and Industrial Laboratories II, basic knowledge and experimental methods in Chemical Science and Engineering will be acquired through experiences of fundamental operations and reactions in chemical engineering, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and polymer chemistry.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) acquire the basic concepts of chemical engineering, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and polymer chemistry.
2) acquire basic techniques necessary for experiments in chemical engineering, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and polymer chemistry.
3) complete a general style of the experimental report including results, discussions, and contents of survey.
