FLUIDS AND SEPARATION

FLUIDS AND SEPARATION – LABORATORY STUDIES – 2015 - 2016 The assessment will be based on the following key points, which must therefore be covered in your reports. a Summary : must include brief statements on the following: i. Topic investigated and its significance in chemical engineering. ii. Objectives of the lab study. iii Equipment us ed iv Key results v Main conclusions vi What you have learned from the lab study. b Introduction i. Background, including theory and the impo1iance of the topic investigated in chemical engineering and!or petroleum engineering. ii. Objectives of lab study (must be sta ted in introduction as well as summary) c Experimental Equipment i. Drawing showing layout of equipment ii. Brief description indicating any special features, capacities, range, make and t ype (Do Not copy the lab sheet). d Experimental Procedure and Observa tions i. Description of procedure, indicating measurements taken . ii. Observations made during investigation, making note of any problems encountered which may have affected results. e Results and Calculations i. Tabulate all results/measurements obtained during lab study. ii. Tabulate all calculated results. Show sample calculations for each type calculated result. f Discussion of Results Discuss al results, making sure you address each objective in the light of your experiments. For each objective explain the underlying theory or the expectat ions of established literature. Discuss any discrepancies between your results and theory, indicating possible reasons. If your results did not agree with theory or literature, explain why and indicate what the underlying t heory or literature says about the correct results that should have shown. Use this section to demonstrate that you have understood the topic you investigated and its significance in chemical engineering and/or petroleum engineering; explain what you have learned as a result of carrying out the study. g Conclusions For each objective, make a clear conclusion (precise statement) in the light of your results and discussions, indicating whether your coriclusion agrees with theory or established literature. h Ref erences List all references that you have used and cited in your report .
