Learning outcomes
Use appropriate representation (one-dimensional beam theory) of structures and diagrams (Mohr circle) to describe forces and stresses acting in a system and perform analysis of such structures in relation to chemical engineering design.
Solve the forces on solid structures in chemical engineering design problems.
Describe properties of materials and the link between the properties and uses for different applications.
Apply stress-strain relationships to determine elasticity of materials.
Explain corrosion mechanisms that can occur in common materials of construction and describe measures to mitigate corrosion.
Select materials of construction that are fit for purpose in design problems based on appropriate failure theories for engineering materials.
Have an appreciation for the role of a chemical engineer in the safe design of structures and their link with other disciplines in the engineering profession (e.g. mechanical and materials).
Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 50%
Final assessment: 50%
This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
Assessment
