will be able to:
Classify various operations as phase creation, addition,
barrier, solid agent, external field/gradient separation
process.
Identify importance, industrial applications, different
types, mode of operations, and selection criteria.
Deal with various phase diagrams, Txy, yx diagrams,
enthalpy-concentration diagrams, and other chemical
engineering tables/diagrams related to the separation
processes considered.
Examine both equilibrium controlled separation
processes as well as separation processes that involve
both heat/mass transport.

14. Notes:
a. Discuss the assignments among yourselves. This is helpful to the learning process. However,
direct copying of others work will NOT be allowed or tolerated and will result in a reduction
of grade.
b. All cases of academic dishonesty will be handled in accordance with university policies and
regulations.
c. There will be a number of unannounced quizzes during the semester. Students are expected to
be ready to take a quiz any time they have a class. There will be no make-up quizzes.
d. Students are expected to attend EVERY CLASS SESSION and they are responsible for all
material, announcements, schedule changes, etc., discussed in class. The university policy
regarding the attendance will be strictly adhered
e. Any students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course are encouraged to
speak with the instructor as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements for these
accommodations.
f. Exams are scheduled as shown in the syllabus and last 90 minutes. The exams are close
textbook and notes. It is your responsibility to bring a calculator, pencils and paper. If you
MUST miss one of these exams for an emergency situation, please let me know as soon as
possible. If you oversleep or skip an exam you will not have an opportunity to make it up. If
you have a valid (according to me) time conflict and you let me know in advance, there is the
possibility of taking an exam at an alternate time.
15. ABET Criteria : Outcomes and Assessment: Engineering programs must demonstrate that their
graduates have
O1 Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of
engineering, science, and mathematics.
O2 Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with
consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,
environmental, and economic factors.
O3 Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
O4 Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make
informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in
global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
O5 Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a
collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet
objectives.
O6 Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use
engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
O7 Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
