Course |
T= his course deals with separations based on the concept of equilibrium-staged processes, and as such requires thorough knowledge of thermodynamic phase equilibrium. Also required are competence in material and energy balances= and computer programming and usage. Anyone deficient in any of these areas can expect to do very poorly in this course. |

Textbook |
The principal textbook for t=
his
course is "Equilibrium Staged Separations" by Phillip C. Wankat, Prentice Hall 1988, ISBN: 0-13-500968-5 The secondary textbook for t=
he
course is "Transport Processes and Unit Operations, 4th ed.," by Christie Gea=
nkoplis,
2003, ISBN: 0-13-101367-X. Most of the readings and required homework
assignments are from Wankat; A= nother book that you may find useful is "Properties of Gases and Liquids, 5= th ed." By Reid, Prausni= tz and O'Connell; it is an invaluable source of physical/thermodynamic prope= rty data. |

Homework |
Assigned homework problems w=
ill
have their solutions written on the blackboard by randomly selected stude=
nts.
Grade for homework will be under class participation. Students may not obtain the solutions from a
fellow student after they have been called upon. Students may, of course,
work on the homework assignments together (and are, in fact, encouraged t=
o do
so); however, each student should come to class prepared to present each
problem and thus should have their own copy (not a Xerox copy) of the
homework solution(s). In addition, pertinent problem(s) during the Workshop sessions will be solve= d as an aid to study. These problem(s) cover generally the same material. Howe= ver, solutions to the assigned homework problems from the text will not be made available in order to try to protect their integrity for future semesters= . |

Projects |
T= his is an engineering design class, and as such projects are central to the cour= se. In this course, there will be three projects that together will constitut= e a large portion of your grade for the course. The 2nd and the 3rd will be team efforts, so choose your teams carefully. Each team shall have two= or three members. |

Grading |
Final grades are calculated as follows:
Final course grades will be
assigned on the following basis: 910+ - 1000 A 870+ - 910 B+ 800+ - 870 B 770+ - 800 C+ 700+ - 770 C 600+ - 700 D 0 - 600 F These will be difficult to a=
ttain.
There is little chance that these cutoffs will be altered as a result of
overall class performance (i.e., no curve). G= rade I (incomplete) and one comprehensive make-up exam will be given only under extraordinary circumstances and at the sole discretion of the instructor<= /span> |

Policy on Cheat= ing |
Students found cheating/plagiarizing will be immediately referred to the Dean of Students and the NJIT Committee on Professional Conduct and subject to Disciplinary Probation, a permanent marking on the record, possible dismissal and a grade of 'F' in the course. All submitted assignme= nts are carefully checked for similarities, and plagiarism and guilty students will be identified. You have chosen the field that requires that high= est degree of ethics. You will = be held to the highest standard. |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Electronic Copi=
es |
All reports and
presentations material must be sent via email attachment. Your reports will be processed t=
hrough
Turnitin.Com to check for similarities between your report, your
classmate’s reports, prior student reports, and the entire
internet. Mass similarities=
will
be considered a violation of the ethics policy. |
