Course outline Course videos from 2012 Copyright and other legal stuff Comments, questions, feedback? Don't wait for official course evaluations. Announcements (previous ones) Please do not wait for feedback on your course project outline to get started with your work (the project is due on 9 November) . You will receive feedback by Friday and over the coming weekend, however, you should start to collect the information you need to work on your report, such as equations on how to design the separator and capital & operating costs. The feedback will be simple: at the most, we will suggest additional references for you to consider. In exceptional cases we will adjust the project scope, but most of you have the correct idea in mind: to focus on 1 major separation unit operation.
