Course learning outcomes
• Understand the fundamental principles in the design of separation
processes
• Use phase equilibrium relations and the single stage equilibrium
operation concepts to design single stage separation processes
• Apply the cascade design strategy to design multistage,
absorption/stripping column, distillation column, liquid extraction
contactors
• Use rate based design approach to size continuous contact equipment
• Apply concepts of conductive and convective heat transport for design
of heat exchangers
• Analyse performance and effectiveness of heat exchangers

uwv) → recorded and link shared through Moodle for viewing
• Course slides, documents→ uploaded on Moodle
• In class activities as appropriate: polls, quick answer, short numerical etc
(Acadly)
• Homework: practise problems and derivations (graded and ungraded)
• Tutorials: video sessions via Google Meet
• Q&A/ discussion: discussion forum in Moodle/Acadly and clarification in
class
• Feedback: end of 2nd week, 1 month and 2 month
