Paper ID #29340Creating and Facilitating Engaging, Rigorous Fully-Online TechnicalCourses (or just Online Content for Face-to-Face Courses) - an MEBExampleDr. Tracy Q Gardner, Colorado School of Mines Tracy Q. Gardner graduated from the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) with B.S. degrees in chemical en- gineering and petroleum refining (CEPR) and in mathematical and computer sciences (MCS) in 1996 and with an M.S. degree in CEPR in 1998. She then got her Ph.D. in chemical engineering, studying transport in zeolite membranes, from CU, Boulder, in 2002. She did a postdoc at TUDelft in the Netherlands in 2002 and 2003, studying

Diagram for Styrene ColumnScenario Description: During normal operation, C-402 begins to vibrate to a point where theautomated safety system trips and shuts the compressor off to prevent equipment damage.In-Class Activity:Answer the following questions (assuming that restarting the compressor has been tried andhas failed): a. How do you expect T-401 to react to this change in process operation? b. How do you expect the basic control layer to respond to this change in process operation?Key prompts for instructors to ask students:1 (a) How do you expect T-401 to react to this change in process operation?Q: What is the process purpose of the compressor (C-402)?A: The compressor removes the non-condensable gases from the reflux drum and

) − R ln(P ), where R = 8.314 kJ/(kmol.K) . • a. Sketch and label the process. • b. Develop mass, energy, and entropy balances for this evolution process. State all relevant assumptions • c. Solve the balances numerically and determine if the process thermodynamically feasible. • d. When testing the system, you realize that the process cannot be operated adiabatically, i .e., heat is lost at the boundary of the process (Q˙ B > 0). How would you change the process inlet to make the process feasible and keep the outlet streams as specified?(a) A sketch of the proposed process is given in Figure 4. ˙ b = 900 kJ/kmol
