Session 1313 Process Descriptions: An Introductory Library Research Assignment on Chemical Processes for First Year Students S. Scott Moor Lafayette CollegeAbstractIn our first year “Introduction to Engineering” class, each student passes through a three-weekblock on chemical engineering. In such a short period of time, it is always a challenge to givestudents a clear idea of the nature and diversity of chemical engineering. I have particularlywanted them to understand the process focus of chemical engineering and the wide range ofproducts made

the given target. Logistics: Lab groups of 3 students Each group will be scheduled for 7 minutes in the UO lab. II. Target flow rates The lab group will be asked achieve, in the allotted time frame, three of the following flow rates: 100 kmol/hr, 100 lbmol/hr, 100 mol/s, 5 gal/min, 25 gal/min, 50 gal/min. The instructor will inform the group of the three target flow rates when they begin the experiment and the order of experimentation. III. Flow rate determination Using the equipment listed above, the group should execute a procedure for accurately determining the flow rate of water. The group should collect water long enough to prove that they established a particular flow rate. As part of your planning

Cantoral 10 mentions that if fromthe beginning of movement, values assumed by position S(0) = S o, velocity V(0) = Vo, andacceleration a(0) = a are known, then the position at any given instant t is S(t). The functionalexpression for S(t) will be given by the natural prediction instrument: Taylor’s Series, S(t) = S(0) + S’(0) t + S’’(0) t 2/2! + … (1)When dealing with rectilinear movement uniformly accelerated, for every t value it is found that, S(n)(t) = 0 " n ³ 3Therefore, equation (1) can be expressed as

], the reviews done by students are themselves reviewed byother students, to give students an incentive to submit good reviews. In this case, no student mayreview his own work, nor may (s)he review her own review. A mapping that satisfies theseconstraints is called a “valid” mapping.2. Overview of our strategyThe basic idea of this algorithm is similar to the banker’s algorithm [SGG 01] used for resourceallocation in operating systems.Definition 1. A mapping assignment of a reviewer to a reviewee is valid if it does not cause areviewer to review his/her own submission, and leaves sufficient valid mapping assignments forall future reviewers.Definition 2. A mapping assignment is invalid either if it does not leave enough valid mappingassignments

Correspondingly, for aluminum Cp = 932J/kg* 0 C and for copper Cp = 390 J/kg* 0 C.Conductor’s resistance at adiabatic process is found as: R = R20 Kt , (4

In traditional design projects, students interact with engineers, engineering faculty and students. · Engineering and non-engineering issues are addressed in a service-learning design project.In a service-learning design project, students will · Work with team member(s) outside of the engineering discipline · Be required to communicate effectively with a diverse audience · Experience the positive impact of engineering and technology on communityThus, service-learning design projects compliment traditional design projects in the training ofengineering undergraduates regarding teamwork, oral and written communications, and design.In past ASEE proceedings, J.

If we let v s ( t ) = 2v s sin( ωt ) be the input voltage for a typicalcircuit (see figure 1) the input current can be obtained as: i s (t ) = i s1 ( t ) + ∑h≠1 i sh (t ) 11Where:i s1 (t ) is the fundamental component (at line frequency f1 ).i sh (t ) is the component at the “h” harmonic frequency (fh ).
