Title: "Equilibrium Stage Separations," Phillip C. Wankat
Course Objective and Goals:
Applications of principles to mass transfer.
Theory an application of staged operations.
Class Format:
We will use a mixture of lecture, discussion, and small group problem solving to meet the class objectives. This non-traditional style is designed to procvide you with several pathways to mastery of the material.
Class participation: Based on the discussion portion of the class. Will involve presenting solved homework problems to the class, participating in discussion of these solutions, or by giving a guest lecture.
Homework: Homework will not be collected. Homework problems will be the basis for class discussion, and solutions will be given in class. In addition, for the highly motivated students who would like to do extra problems, I will provide discussion and solutions to any problem in the text.
Computer problems: These computer problems are installed on the machines in the Souby computer laboratory (or you may also obtain a floppy disk copy if you would like to instll them on your own machine). They are fun, self paced problem sets that allow you to explore the what-ifs in solving problems. You are allowed to repeat the problem as many times as you like, in order to get the score you desire.
Exams: All exams will be in class, one hour exams. You will be able to use the text and your own notes and homework problems. The final exam will be two hours and will be comprehensive.

Other assignments will be due at the beginning of the class period,
before class begins. Late assignments will not be accepted

Make-up exams are possible if a valid reason exists and plans
are made ahead of time. However, the makeup will consist
of a project instead of an exam.
