ChE 489: Process Dynamics and Control Fall 2016

Instructor: Professor Laurent Simon Office: Tiernan 361 Phone: (973) 596-5263 E-mail address: [email protected] Office hours: Monday 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. or individual appointment

Time & Place of Class: Monday 9:15 am – 11:25 am KUPF 118 Thursday 1:45 pm – 3:55 pm KUPF 118

Course Prerequisites: ChE 349; ChE 365

Textbook:

Simon, L. (2013) Control of Biological and Drug-Delivery Systems for Chemical, Biomedical, and Pharmaceutical Engineering, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ, USA. ISBN-13: 978-0470903230

Grading schemes:

Homework (individual activity) 7% Project 7% Exam 1 17% Exam 2 17% Exam 3 17% Final Exam 28% In-class group activities 7%

Course outcomes:

Outcome 1: Students will be able to model chemical engineering processes and analyze/predict their dynamics both for open- (no control) and closed-loop (with control) cases.

Outcome 2: Students will be able to select the most appropriate input to manipulate, and to tune controllers to meet/achieve specified process objectives (for feedback control strategies).

Outcome 3: Students will be able to work effectively in problem-solving teams and assess the performance of their team-mates and themselves on the group efforts.

A final course grade will be assigned on the following basis: 90-100 A

85-89.9 B+

80-84.9 B

75-79.9 C+

70-74.9 C
