Course description and aims
[Description] First, chemical process in general and the overall flow of process synthesis are outlined. Secondly, the respective steps in the flow, namely, creation of process design, syntheses of operation procedures, integration of streams, and the fundamentals of simulations of the respective operations are explained. In addition, examples of chemical processes for development are introduced.
[Aims] Students acquire the basics of the process synthesis stage, which is one of the most important steps in chemical process development. From the examples, they can also get to know how the conditions from global to regional are taken into consideration in chemical process, in order to deepen their understanding of process synthesis for development.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to synthesize preliminary designs of chemical processes and to design the respective operations for sustainable development within given conditions such as global and regional environment, energy, and other regional characteristics.
