A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Literature survey and design data collection

A literature survey in process design is the systematic review of existing research, patents, and technical reports that informs the selection of design parameters and technology routes. Design data collection gathers the quantitative and qualitative information—such as thermodynamic data, kinetic constants, material properties, and cost data—required to model and evaluate a process.
