Undergraduates

   Introduction

  Masters in Chemical Engineering includes advanced theoretical courses in chemical engineering and research thesis on one of the trends or issues in chemical engineering. The training of masters of chemical engineering is of the utmost importance, given that the vast majority of chemical industries are in dire need of research and development in order to acquire technical knowledge in related fields.

Fields and trends in the master's degree in Chemical Engineering department are:

 

  • Chemical Engineering - Process Design


The process design in the term is a way to transform the material from one state to another and the process design engineer, that is, the person who designs and engineering the method of this transformation. This tendency covers almost all other trends in chemistry (in general terms).

Designing chemical processes and designing process equipment and examining safety issues in chemical processes is one of the applications of this trend.
The design of industries that are directly or indirectly dependent on crude oil or refinery products or petrochemical industries relates to the chemical engineer of the process design. For example, this tendency in the oil and gas industry is responsible for designing oil and gas refinement processes, designing the tower and converter, specifying the specifications of the devices and measuring systems.

Chemical Engineering -thermosynthetic

  This tendency is mainly divided into two branches: 1) thermodynamics 2) kinetics and catalyst.

The first branch deals more with thermodynamic concepts such as labor relations, energy, volume pressure, etc., especially in solutions, applied in the field of chemical engineering.

The second branch focuses on three major catalyst issues:

1.   The kinetics of catalytic reactions and the design of reactors


2. Principles and methods of making catalysts

3- Determination of the physical and chemical properties of catalysts

 

  • Chemical Engineering - Separation Processes

Graduates focus on the performance of a variety of separation processes and debates on the design of these processes. The optimal design of classical separation processes, such as distillation, absorption, disposal, extraction, as well as familiarity with modern issues in the separation industry, such as membrane separation systems, crystallization, drying phenomena and surface phenomena, are among the unique capabilities of graduates of this trend.

 

  • Chemical Engineering, transport phenomena

The heaviest and strongest tendency in chemical engineering is undoubtedly the tendency of the phenomenon of transport. that students in this tendency become more powerfull then students in the field of fluid mechanics .a very good choice, For those interested in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. In this tendency, students pass through courses on transport phenomenas, namely advanced heat transfer, advanced mass transfer, and advanced fluid mechanics.

 

  • Chemical Engineering - Modeling, Simulation and Control


The integration of the three feilds of chemical engineering, programming and computer engineering has created a new trend called simulation and control.
One of the effective computer applications in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries is the simulation of production units by special software. This field has grown dramatically in recent years, despite the fact that many of the benefits of this work have yet to be recognized, due to the competitive global markets, as well as the moves to increase production efficiency, better use of resources and lower costs.


also In this trend, the design and control of "chemical process control" systems to address possible defects in the design of chemical engineering processes and devices, including towers and reactors, are investigated.
