| Homework Assignments & Solutions | Labs | Term Paper

Reading assignments: It is important that you read the assigned sections from the textbook before coming to class so that we can spend more time solving problems in order to improve our problem solving skills.

Exams: There will be 1 hr term exam and a final exam. A 15 min long quiz will be given in class with prior notification. The quiz questions will be from the homework assignments.

Homework: There will be one homework assignment each week on Tuesday and the assignments will be collected following Tuesday. Homework assignments for each week and the solution set for the previous week will be posted on the course web page every Tuesday. Late assignments will not be accepted because a solution set will be available on the web page on Tuesday after class.

Homework is a valuable learning tool, so you should try to solve every problem on your own before seeking help. Once you've worked on each problem by yourself, you may work together in small groups to complete an assignment. This does not mean you may simply copy solutions from a classmate or from solution sets from previous years to which you might have access. Presenting someone else's work as your own is plagiarism.

Labs : There will be 5 labs for the course.

Lab 1: Application of MATLAB to data analysis (interpolation, extrapolation, curve fitting, integration)

Lab 2: Material balances

Lab 3: Heat capacity, heat of solution

Lab 4: Viscosity measirement

Lab 5: Pressure drop and pump performance laboratory

Term paper : There will be one term paper due March 6, 2003. The term paper will include a flow chart of a process of your choice (manufacturing of a food product, cleaning of a waste stream, recycling of a waste product, or an equipment) and the application of a macroscopic energy or material balance around a unit operation of your choice on the flow sheet of process.
