The web pages for this course were first set up as a Chbe 500 project by Rui Song in the Spring, 1997 semester. They have been updated and topics added by the instructor and students since then. Suggestions about changes are welcomed. Send them to the instructor preferably by e-mail. Note that the first edition of Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot was used in preparing the first version of the notes. The second edition was first adopted in the Spring, 2002. The major change required to use previous material is the addition of a chapter in the part of the text on momentum balances. Thus both the sections on energy and on mass transfer have chapter numbers that are now one greater than they were in the first edition.
The course grade will be determined by:
where HW stands for the average homework grade, MT stands for the mid term grade and F stands for the final examination grade. P is the grade earned on a project that will contribute to the further development of these notes. The Mid Term and Final exams will be open book and computer usage is encouraged. A nominal good grade on the project is 10 points, but exceptional work could earn more.
Students should register for the course on Owlnet by:
servnm%register chbe402
This will allow you to see messages of the day for the course and to have access to Matlab programs in ~chbe402/matlab as well as both Matlab and FORTRAN programs used in Chbe301. Students should log into their accounts at least twice a week to make sure they see the message of the day for the course.
The Matlab programs developed for this course are stored in the directory:
Maple sessions were used to create most of the examples shown in these notes. The latest version of Maple directly produces html files with gifs of the output from commands. The Maple code used to create the notes are stored as mw (Maple 9 Work Sheet) files in the directory:
Note that the output from most of the intermediate steps used in the Maple sessions are not shown in these notes. In order to see the output from all the commands you must load the commands into a Maple session (preferably in a Maple 9 session) and execute them there. The Maple sessions that have been updated are now stored in subdirectories that specify the chapter number. Thus the sessions that now show how to work the examples in the first chapter on energy transport may be found in:
Homework assignments will be posted in the web pages under Assignments. They will be assigned most weeks on either Monday or Wednesday and due a week later. The first assignment will be found on line as Assignment_1.
The project that is a required part of the course will work out new examples in the second edition and/or examples that have been modified significantly. Students may choose to work with one other member of the class or as an individual effort.
Grades for the course will be stored in the file:
