Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen solution/product in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, environment, safety/security).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the basics of heat exchangers; select the best solution for heat exchanger problems, taking into account the operating conditions as well as the technological and economical constraints; solve the two basic heat exchanger problems: thermal design of a new heat exchanger and performance determination of an existing heat exchanger. Understand the fundamentals of combustion and the principles of rational use of energy; apply it to compute energy balance of a combustion system including heat transfer inside the furnace, and to compute fuel saving by heat recovery on flue gas; describe the characteristics of premixed and diffusion flames, explain the principles governing flame ignition, propagation and stability. Gas burners: describe auxiliary equipment needed for air and gas supply, combustion control, flame stabilization, flame length variation, and flue gas heat recovery; explain the principles governing pollutants formation in natural gas combustion; describe briefly primary technologies for emission abatement.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Graded tests

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Process heat transfer: Reports of laboratory work, 10 % of the mark. Assessment (quoted) exercise, 30 % of the mark, maximal duration : 90 min (written, with class notes and laboratory protocols; during the last session of laboratory work (before the examination period)). Oral examination, 60 % of the mark, maximal duration: 120 min; during the regular examination period (90 minutes written preparation and 30 minutes examination). 2 questions, without notes (except for the annex to the class notes which collects the main formulas, graphs and tables used in the course). Combustion and Burners: Laboratory Work: reports of laboratory work. 10% of the total mark. Assessment (written) on laboratory work: With class and laboratory notes, one hour and a half length. Exercise similar to exercises solved during the laboratory work practices or to examples given in class notes. 30% of the total mark Examination: Written preparation (maximum 2 hours) and oral examination (individual), without class notes nor laboratory notes. Two questions (same for all students in one examination series): 1. Exercise on balances and heat transfer (first part of the course); no numerical resolution, only equations and resolution principle. 2. Flames and gas burners : describe physics of phenomena and explain their consequences on burner operation. Total length : 4 hours max. 60% of the total mark

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Graded tests

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Process heat transfer : Assessment (written) on laboratory work : transfer of the Laboratory work mark (= 40 % of the total mark) if greater than 10/20. If less, only the mark of the Reports of laboratory work (10 % of the total mark) will be transferred from Term1 to Term 3 and the student has to represent the written assessment exercise (30 % of the total mark). Oral examination, 60 % of the mark ; transfer of the examination mark if greater than 10/20 ; if less, new oral examination must be taken. Same organisation as in 1st examination period. Combustion : Same as in Term 1 : Laboratory Work: reports of laboratory work. 10% of the total mark (transfer of mark obtained in Q1) + exercise similar to exercises solved during the laboratory work practices or to examples given in class notes. 30% of the total mark The mark obtained in Term 1 for lab work assessment can be transferred to Term 3 if greater than 10/20. Oral examination 60% of the total mark.
