MIEQ | 70 | Syllabus | 3 | - | 6 | 70 | 162 |
In this UC the students do laboratory practice on what they have learned previously in their MIEQ and they learn basic notions of electricity. The UC has two components: Chemical Engineering “EQ” (75%) and “Eletro” (25%).
(A)”EQ”
Laboratory practice on Mass Transfer and Separation Processes and also some Heat transfer and Fluid flow. The laboratory classes “EQ” alternate (week on/week off) with “Eletro” laboratory classes.
(B)”Eletro” Basic experiments to get familiar with measurements related to electric circuits. Analysis of simple circuits (DC) and (AC) circuits using the oscilloscope.
The students get in touch with physical phenomena and simple physico-chemical processes, at experimental level and develop skills of communication, both oral and written, of the results of their analysis.
They also learn to measure basic quantities of electricity and analyze simple DC and AC circuits using the oscilloscope.
(A) Component ”EQ”
The students perform 5 laboratory ‘set’ works in the general areas of mass and heat transfer, separation processes, fluid mecanics andunit operations:
T1-Fluidization
T2- Absorption of O2
T3- Heat transfer coefficient in an agitated tank.
T4- Continuous distillation at total reflux
T5- Differential distillation.
T6- Plate heat exchanger
T7- Filtration at constant pressure
T1 and T2 are performed by all the groups.
The groups have the schedule to perform all the works through the plan presented in the beginning of the course.
(B) Component ”Eletro”
Set of 2 lectures to consolidate material from Física II, coupled with three laboratory classes on:
1- Measurement of electric tension, elements in series and in parallel;
2- Kirchhoff laws and RC circuit.
3- RLC circuits in AC.
“EQ”
Each group of two students performs the experimental work, writes a short report on it and discusses it with the teacher. Oral apresentation based on of an industrial application related with one experimental work performed in the LAB. Detail discussion with the teachers of one work selected.
“Eletro”
In the main lectures, there is a brief explanations of the concepts, phenomena and laws addressed in the experiments.
In the lab students perform their work in groups of 2 or 3. They have to prepare the lab experiment in advance.
A pre/post-test strategy will be used to access knowledge gain.

Final mark = 75% "EQ"+25% "Eletro"
Lab exam (modules "EQ" + "Eletro"), detailed writen report. Oral presentation of another experimental work.
Lab exam of 3 experimental works ("EQ" + "Eletro") and discussion of the results with the teacher. Written reports of the same 3 lab works.
