Course overview and goals
[Summary of Lecture] This course focuses on the energy operation in chemical industry and basic knowledge for energy conversion. Topics in the energy operation include heat exchanger, evaporation operation, and heat transfer in those processes.
[Aim of Lecture] This lecture aims for students to understand fundamental knowledge and design concept about energy operation and heat transfer in chemical industry.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, student will be able to explain: 1) fundamentals of heat exchanger and evaporation operation, 2) design method of heat exchanger and evaporation plant, 3) heat transfer mechanism of heat exchanger and evaporation operation.
Keywords
Heat exchanger, Evaporation operation, Heat transfer, Evaporation heat transfer, Condensation heat transfer, Combined heat transfer, Thermal insulation, Energy conversion
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Then the main points of the day’s lecture are given as exercise. At the end of class, students are asked to solve the exercise.

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
None required.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Handouts will be distributed at the beginning of class when necessary and elaborated on using PowerPoint slides. PowerPoint documents that are to be used in class will be made available in advance via the OCW or T2SCHOLA system. Students are expected to use these documents for preparation and review purposes.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Assessment is based on the exercise and final exam
