Optimization for Chemical Engineers: CHE 4G3

Administrative

Class materials

Announcements (previous ones)

03 Mar: an interesting article on how the human body has optimized a simple feature: the length of the eyelash. The part on fluid dynamics and optimal boundary layer thickness is interesting.

04 Mar: course grades for the assignments have been available since 13 February. Apparently grades are not visible to some students. If that is your case, please email the Avenue Support at support.avenue@cll.mcmaster.ca with attention to Lavinia Oltean, and mention CHEM ENG 4G03 in the subject.

15 Mar: Please also bring your printed copy of handout 09A to class; we will continue with those notes from last week.

16 Mar: the midterms were returned in class on Monday. The solution is also posted. The grade is out of 94 marks. I forgot to mention in class that the following is now on Avenue:

the grade breakdown for each question
your individual percentage (add up the 5 marks and divide by 94 to get a percentage)
the collaborative percentage
the overall percentage = max(your grade, or 85% your grade + 15% collaborative grade). So the collaboration will never decrease your individual grade.
