Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

The course will begin with the development of basic principles of heat & mass transfer and fluid-phase equilibria theory, and will then move on to show how these principles may be applied to specific unit operations including, flash separation, binary and multi-component distillation, evaporation, drying and membrane separations. ENMP221 and ENMP223 should be completed before enrolling in this paper.

The course will be taught in the first semester, commencing with the first lecture on Monday, 26th of February.

Labs/Tutorials/Project Work

Laboratory work consists of six laboratory sessions. Students must achieve a mark of 50 % or better for the Laboratory component of the course in order to achieve an overall pass.Each student is required to keep a laboratory journal in a hard-covered book for each laboratory session. Your journal, worth 10 % of the overall grade, should be submitted by 5pm of the Thursday following the lab. In addition, there will be a small project to complete. The report for this project will contribute 10% to the final grade. A tutorial will be held most weeks and assignments set in these tutorials will contribute 10% to the final grade.

Tests

There will be two tests in addition to the end of semester exam. The tests contribute 10% each to the final mark. The test dates are Thursday March 29th and Thursday 17th May.

Important Note for International Students: For international students in New Zealand under student visas, regular attendance is part of your visa obligation and is checked as a requirement on the University under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, to which the University is a signatory. Academic staff are formally required to monitor attendance in classes and submission of compulsory assessment events/items and to report to Waikato International in the event that any problem with irregular attendance or non-submission is not resolved.
