  Companion in Chemical Engineering - An Instructional Supplement

  A Companion in Chemical Engineering (CinChE) is designed to aid students in the development of their critical thinking skills as an engineering problem solver. The creative problem-solving methodology emphasized in CinChE provides a general framework in which to solve any type of well-defined engineering problem involving material balances

  phase equilibria

  and energy balances. It is a systems strategy that heavily uses the mental processes of decomposition

  chunking

  and pattern matching

  and it is specifically designed to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills of analysis

  synthesis

  and evaluation. The CinChE methodology is more systematic than the problem-solving strategies found in most textbooks for the introductory course on chemical engineering

  like \"Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes\" (Felder and Rousseau

  2005)

  \"Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering\" (Himmelblau and Riggs

  2004)

  or \"Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles

  Analysis

  Synthesis\" (Murphy

  2007). Many of the example problems presented in the CinChE manual are similar to ones found in the Felder and Rousseau textbook

  but their solutions are based on the problem-solving methodology emphasized in the CinChE manual. Because the CinChE manuscript was compiled using Adobe Acrobat(r)

  it contains many popup notes and web links. Using a supplied web address and Acrobat Reader(r)

  students can electronically view the popup notes and access the web links that appear in many of the graphic organizers and example problems of the paper copy. The popup notes provide valuable information to help clarify the content within a graphic organizer or an example problem. The web links access text files

  E-Z Solve files

  Excel(r) files

  Aspen HYSYS(r) files

  and \".pdf\" files. Students can view but not copy or print the electronic version of the CinChE manual.

  Companion in Chemical Engineering - An Instructional Supplement

  The document Chemical Process Simulation and the Aspen HYSYS Software is a self-paced instructional manual that aids students in learning how to use a chemical process simulator and how a process simulator models material balances

  phase equilibria

  and energy balances for chemical process units. The student learning is driven by the development of the material and energy requirements for a specific chemical process flowsheet. This semester-long

  problem-based learning activity is intended to be a student-based independent study

  with about two-hour support provided once a week by a student teaching assistant to answer any questions.\n\nThis HYSYS manual can be used with most textbooks for the introductory course on chemical engineering

  like Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (Felder and Rousseau

  2005)

  Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering (Himmelblau and Riggs

  2004)

  or Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles

  Analysis

  Synthesis (Murphy

  2007). It can also be used as a refresher for chemical engineering seniors in their process engineering design course. Because the HYSYS manuscript was compiled using Adobe Acrobat(r)

  it contains many web links. Using a supplied web address and Acrobat Reader(r)

  students can electronically access the web links that appear in many of the chapters. These web links access Aspen HYSYS(r)

  Acrobat PDF(r)

  Microsoft Word(r)

  and Microsoft Excel(r) files that appear in many of chapters. Students can view but not copy or print the electronic version of the HYSYS manual.
