Announcements (previous ones) or
- 24 Mar: Project update 1
- The project due date has been postponed to 04 April, at 17:30, to give you some more time to get a really good simulation and report together.
- The heat transfer coefficient should be \(U = 631\,\text{W.m}^{-2}\text{.K}^{-1}\)
- The following requirements have also been removed from the project, because they are not a core part of the course.
- No need for any mechanical design, materials of construction (i.e. cross out the entire 3rd bullet point of step 3)
- I will be specifying the gas viscosity, particle size of the catalyst, and the number of tubes to use in the next day or two. For now you should be able to use reasonable estimates of these, based on what typical reactors look like and by looking up typical values.
- 25 Mar: a number of you are struggling with MATLAB code, and even more concerning, the conceptual issues around the course project. Rather than continue with new material, I will make the next 2 classes (11A and 11B) more tutorial like. Come with your questions, and let's make sure we get some good projects submitted!
- 25 Mar: code on this page has been updated to show how to find an optimum.
- 27 Mar: bring your laptops to class; the class will be tutorial-like, with Q&A, so everyone can benefit from each other's questions and the answers.
- Update: I'm glad that many of you got your problems sorted out with your code at the tutorial class tonight, and figured out now how to set up the course project. That was exactly the purpose, so that you can all learn from each other, even if you are different stages of the project.
- Thursday's class will be back to a regular lecture.
- 28 Mar: the course project scope, like all engineering projects, has just been updated. Please download the revised PDF; changes are marked in red text.
