Heat Transfer Processes

Separation Processes

CHE 06314....................... 4 s.h.

This course describes the modes of diffusion of mass and chemical composition. This course includes mass transfer analysis; molecular diffusion in gases, liquids and solids, and convective mass transfer. The course presents several rate-controlled separation processes and their relevant theory, design and applications. These processes include sorption processes of adsorption, chromatography and ion exchange; and membrane processes of reverse osmosis, ultra/microfiltration and gas permeation. Demonstrations and laboratories will be integrated throughout the course.

CHE 06484 ....................... 3 s.h.

Controlled release systems are designed to provide delivery of an agent at a pre-determined rate for an extended period of item. Controlled release offers several advantages over traditional methods of formulation and administration: maintenance of effective concentrations for a sustained period, less total agent required, cost effectiveness, convenience and compliance. This course introduces students to chemical engineering fundamentals applied to controlled release systems. Basic principles of materials, mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid flow and chemical reactions are used to analyze and design controlled release systems. Applications to pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries will be explored. Laboratory experiments and demonstrations will be integrated throughout the course.

CHE 06472 ....................... 3 s.h.

This course introduces students to chemical engineering fundamentals applied to biomedical systems. Students analyze and design biomedical processes. The basic biochemistry and physiology required for understanding of biomedical systems is presented. Basic principles of mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reaction are used to analyze or design drug delivery systems, pharmacokinetic models, the circulatory system, transport across cell membranes, and human and artificial organs. Laboratory experiments and demonstrations will be integrated throughout the course.
