| * A [[Final_exam_-_2012 |note about the final exam]] and also be aware that I will be in Toronto for meetings until 1pm on Monday, so I will only be present at the very end of the exam, depending on traffic. This emphasizes the advice you will see on the exam: ''If any part of the question seems ambiguous, please make a clear and reasonable assumption, and continue your answer.''

|
| |
| * I wasn't aware the solution slides for [[Process_operability_-_2012| flexibility and controllability]] from the operability topic were not posted. That PDF is available now.

| * <span style="color:#DD6677">New</span>: After the 4N exam, please feel free to join your colleagues and friends at The Phoenix to celebrate the end of term. There's a reservation for 30 people, under the name ''Chem Eng 4N'' from 15:45 onwards on Monday, 17 December. See you there.

| Professor Dunn has shared with me some of your successes during the course. I expect that you are exhausted but proud of your accomplishments.
| |
|
| |
| I am writing you concerning the [[Process_troubleshooting_-_2012 | Troubleshooting chapter]]. It was a first draft that I hurried to make available to you for this semester. After review, it is apparent that I hurried too much and did not catch some errors. The error that might confuse you as you prepare for the final involves the major example that is used throughout the first half of the chapter - The Drooping Temperature. The text references to some instruments are not consistent with the drawing in Figure 9.6. (I wrote the chapter; then, I decided that the figure was not adequate, so I redrew the figure with much more detail, inadvertently changing instrument numbers.)
| |
|
| |
| To help you study, please consider the following guidance on the instrument naming.
| |
| {|
| |
| |-
| |
| |Temperature control
| |
| |In Fig 9.6 = TC30
| |
| |In the text = TC1
| |
| |-
| |
| |Feed Flow
| |
| |In Fig 9.6 = FC3
| |
| |In the text = FC1
| |
| |-
| |
| |Fuel Flow
| |
| |In Fig 9.6 = F1
| |
| |In the text = F2
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to Professor Dunn for pointing out these errors. Sorry that they remain in the version that you have available.
| |
|
| |
| Best wishes on the exam.
