2. Pre-Requisites
Mandatory: None.
Recommended: Unit Opertions, Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer, and Chemical Reacion Engineering.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject is the first of the two in which the subject Experimentation in Chemical Engineering has been splitted. It is fundamental as, due to its practical nature, the students have the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge previously acquired in other subjects, as well as integrate and use them together. Likewise, they acquire skill in handling equipment characteristic of the profession.
The implementation of this subject in the third year of the Degree in Chemical Engineering assumes that the previous theoretical knowledge required in it (fundamentally Energy and Mass Balances, Heat Transmission and Fluid Flow) have already been developed previously.
