MM~I 4 Stagewise Processes
No. of hours per week: five hours
Assessment: examinations and practical work
A fourth year subject in the degree of Bachelor of
Engineering (Manufacturing).
Subject aims and description
Applications of mass transfer operations such as distillation,
gas absorption, liquid-liquid extraction and leaching, in
chemical manufacturing; descriptions of the equipment in
which these operations are carried out.
Behaviour of plate and packed columns; characteristics of
packings; bubble cap and sieve trays, weirs and
downcomers; flooding, hold-up and pressure drop; selection
of optimum column diameter.
The concept of the equilibrium stage as applied to
distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, leaching and other mass
transfer operations. Graphical and computer-based design
techniques employing this concept: McCable-Thiele, Sorel.
and Ponchon-Savarit methods; batch and continuous
operation.
