COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING<br />
INQU 5030. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING<br />
LABORATORY II. Two credit hours. Two threehour<br />
laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite:<br />
INQU 4002 and INQU 4017. Corequisite: INQU<br />
5025.<br />
Experimental studies on mass transfer, process<br />
control, fermentation, kinetics and catalysis using<br />
pilot plant equipment at the Unit Operations<br />
Laboratory.<br />
INQU 5035. BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING.<br />
Three credit hours. Three hours of lecture per<br />
week. Prerequisites: INQU 4017 or (QUIM 4042<br />
and QUIM 5072).<br />
Concepts of microbiology and biochemistry.<br />
Kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reaction networks<br />
and immobilized enzyme systems; transport<br />
phenomena in microbial systems; biological reactor<br />
design and analysis; analysis of multiple interacting<br />
microbial populations.<br />
INQU 5036. PARTICULATE SYSTEMS. Three<br />
credit hours. Three hours of lecture per week.<br />
Prerequisite: INQU 4002.<br />
Creation, characterization, separation and<br />
agglomeration of particles. Sizing fractionation of<br />
powders, surface area and pore size determinations.<br />
Pulverization, crystallization, agglomeration,<br />
tableting and granulation.<br />
INQU 5037. MEMBRANE SEPARATION<br />
PROCESSES. Three credit hours. Two hours of<br />
lecture and one hour of discussion per week.<br />
Prerequisite: INQU 4002.<br />
Study of the principles of membrane separation<br />
processes such as: reverse osmosis, nanofiltration,<br />
ultrafiltration, microfiltration, dialysis,<br />
electrodialysis, gas permeation and pervaporation.<br />
The study will cover mass transfer and the design<br />
and operational aspects for both liquid and gas<br />
separation system. The separation, purification,<br />
and recovery processes will be applied to the<br />
chemical, biochemical, and food industries.<br />
INQU 5045. TRANSPORT PHENOMENA.<br />
Three credit hours. Three hours of lecture per<br />
week. Prerequisites: (INQU 4008 and INQU<br />
4010) or INCI 4008.<br />
Momentum, energy, and mass transport. Emphasis<br />
is given in the understanding of basic physical<br />
principles and their mathematical description.<br />
INQU 5995. SPECIAL PROBLEMS. One to<br />
three credit hours. One to three laboratory, library<br />
or independent work periods per week.<br />
Prerequisite: Authorization of the Director of the<br />
Department.<br />
<strong>Undergraduate</strong> research problems in chemical<br />
engineering or related field. Topics vary with<br />
interest of student and instructor. Open only to<br />
outstanding Chemical Engineering students.<br />
