1. Unit Operations Laboratory Chemical Engineering 477 Winter Semester 2021 Dr. N. Stanley Harding

2. Chem. Eng. 477 Unit Operations II Purpose: Transfer book learning to actual experience Welcome Introduction Information Sheet Experiments Course Documents/Syllabus Experiment Proposals

3. Introduction Dr. N. Stanley Harding B.S. Chemical Engineering, BYU, 19XX Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, BYU, 19XX + 3 Work Experience Conoco/CONSOL/DuPont Established Combustion Group to support CONSOL, 9+ years Burns & Roe Engineering Services Technical support to DOE NETL, 1 year Reaction Engineering International Founding member, 10 years N. S. Harding & Associates Technical Energy Consultant, 20+ years This is my 20thyear as Adjunct Professor teaching at BYU! Last semester taught at both BYU and the UofU!

4. Introduction (Cont.) Dr. N. Stanley Harding Personal Live in North Salt Lake Married with 7 children, 17 grandchildren Read, write, and speak French All of family served LDS missions Enjoy crossword puzzles and math puzzles Run 4 marathons and 8 Ragnar 200 mile relays! Enjoy eating!! Why do I do this? Arrogant enough to think I can provide insights into reality (work place) Enjoy being with you kids

6. Laboratory Rules Safety glasses MUST be worn in lab No eating or drinking (except bottled water) in computer area or lab No open-toed shoes, sandals, etc. in lab No short pants in lab No skirts or dresses in lab Honor Code: beards, plagiarism, etc.

7. Laboratory Experience 2 Different Engineering Principles Separations Continuous Distillation; Ebulliometer (VLE) Kinetics Catalytic Methanation Everyone will get to do all three experiments There will be 6 teams, 4-5 students per team Change teams for each experiment Treat as if a project in company (proposals, reviews, reports, etc.) Teams will be given experimental data no actual testing

8. Team Concept TEAM succeeds, not the individual What are individual team member strengths? What part of experiment speaks to you? What are needed tasks? How do each persons strengths fit into TEAM success? How are these tasks divided between team members? Your Leadership report reflects your team members opinions of how you performed your tasks only

9. Major Sources of Help! Mike Beliveau Lab Director Amy Wood Lab Manager Your text books!
