Compulsory modules

The aims of this module are to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of single and multi-phase fluid mixing processes, including the intensification of fluid mixing processes.
  • Obtain an understanding of process intensification and how this can be applied to improve cost-effectiveness, efficiency, environmental impact and safety of unit operations relevant to reaction and dispersion processes.
  • Gain an understanding on the design, operation and scale up of industrial mixing processes, including intensified mixing processes to be able to take formulated products to market.
  • Acquire knowledge on the ways in which mixing and process intensification affect product properties.

The aims of this module are:

  • To examine the various stages in the design of chemical, biochemical and biomedical products.
  • To consider a generalised methodology for identifying needs, generating and selecting ideas, designing a manufacturing process for chemical, biochemical and biomedical products and getting the product to market.

The module is designed to develop the student's understanding of principles and application of modelling of chemical systems.
To give the students a critical appreciation of the use of relevant software tools for modelling and analysis of complex chemical engineering systems.

The aims of this module are to:

  • Develop skills to critically review the literature and apply them to scientific and engineering problems.
  • Develop knowledge and understanding of data analysis techniques and their application.
  • Gain an understanding of and how to apply the ideas to measure unknown quantities.
