Easter Egg

file:///H:/htm

lmain/easter.htm

[05/12/2011 16:54:02]

Easter E

ggThis is the only easter egg that I know

of on the CD

-RO

M (but there m

ay be more). M

y name is D

ieter Andrew

Schweiss, and after devoting a year of m

y life to this project, I had to put something hidden on this thing!

I've really enjoyed working w

ith Scott, the University of M

ichigan Team, and the people from

Prentice-Hall on this

CD

-RO

M project. It has helped m

e fulfill a long-time dream

of contributing to the accumulated know

ledge that is thefield of C

hemical Engineering. (That, and the fact that nothing quite like this C

D had ever been done before in C

hE!)

Anyw

ays, good luck with your classes. B

e sure to use the resources available to you on this CD

, especially the LectureN

otes and the worked exam

ple problems. They'll really com

e in handy. (Trust me, I know

!)

I like what this sym

bol represents:

life is a balance between order and chaos, yet

pure order still retains some elem

ent of chaos and pure chaos retains som

e element of order

(kind of like my desk...)

Special Recognition

Professor H. Scott Fogler w

ould like to extend a special thanks to Dieter A

ndrew Schw

eiss, without w

orked countless daysand nights to bring this project to com

andthe Prentice-H

1. Summ

The Summ

ill serve as an overview of

each chapter. They contain a logical flow of the equations being derived, along w

ith additionalexam

ples and material that can be view

ed either before or after reading the text. The first 26 lecturesare covered in a four-credit hour undergraduate course. The last 11 (27-37) are taken from

thegraduate course at the U

niversity of Michigan.

2. Web M

odulesThese m

odules show how

key concepts of chemical reaction engineering can be applied to non-

standard problems (e.g. the use of W

etlands to degrade toxic chemicals). C

urrent modules focus on

Chapters 4 and 6 and include W

one can attack homew

s. The section on Getting U

nstuck is especially helpful.

Living E

xample Problem

sThe exam

ple problems that use an O

DE solver (e.g., PO

LYM

ATH

) are referred to as "living example

problems," because the students can load the program

directly on their own com

puters in order to study it.Students are then encouraged to "play" w

ith the example's key variables and assum

ptions. Students canchange param

eter values, such as the reaction rate constants to learn to deduce trends or predict thebehavior of a given reaction system

, and gain a better understanding of the concepts being studied. Using

the living example problem

s provides students with the opportunity to practice critical and creative

thinking skills as they explore the problem and ask "w

hat if...?" questions.


This section of the CD

of chemical reaction engineering courses. A

How

to Use the C

D-R

OM

The primary purpose of the C

D-R

OM

is to serve as an enrichment resource. The objectives are fourfold:

(1) To provide the option/opportunity for further study or clarification on a particular concept or topicthrough Lecture N

otes, additional examples, interactive com

puting modules and w

eb modules,

(2) To provide the opportunity to practice critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills, and problemsolving skills through the use of "W

hat if" questions and "living example problem

s,"

(3) To provide additional technical material for the professional bookshelf,

(4) To provide other tutorial information, such as additional hom

ework problem

s, thoughts on problemsolving, how

to use computational softw

are in chemical reaction engineering, and a representative course

structure.

There are a number of w

ays one can use the CD

in conjunction with the text. The general guideline is that

the CD

provides enrichment resources for the reader. Pathw

ays on how to use the m

aterials to learnchem

ical reaction engineering are shown in Figure I-1 and I-2.

I-3 Resources for Instructors

The author recomm

ends that instructors use the living example problem

s before assigning home problem

s,but they m

ay be by-passed if time is not available. This is, of course, true for all of the enrichm

entresources. Please note how

ever, that class testing had shown that the enrichm

ent resources not only aidstudents in learning the m

aterial, but they also motivate students by the novel use of C

RE

principles.

Possible Implem

entation Strategies

I. Learning R

esources

A. Lecture N

otes: This material could be review

material.

B. Interactive C

omputer M

odules - (ICM

): Each module requires approxim

ately 30 minutes to

complete. If a m

odule is not assigned or required, the student could quickly go on through theR

eview of Fundam

entals Section to get an overview or to review

(ca. 10 min.). The com

pletem

odules could be used by the student as a self test to check their level of understanding. A num

C. W

D. Solved Exam

ples: After reading the m

II. Living E

xample Problem

sThese exam

ples are meant to be used in conjunction w

ith the second problem of every chapter, beginning

with C

hapter 4 (i.e. P4-2). Typically one might assign a living exam

first problems assigned in a chapter to get students fam

Polymath

Polymath is a D

OS-based program

that can help you solve differential equations, analyze rate data (with non-linear

regression, etc.), and more. The program

is fairly straight-forward, but you w

ill want to read through the Polym

athM

anual before you start. Then we recom

mend that you take the Polym

ath Short Course to start you on your w

ay.

Polymath-R

elated Files

Polymath Program

Files

Polymath has been included on your C

D-R

OM

in a directory called Polymat4. Y

ou can run Polymath directly from

your CD

-RO

M, or you can install Polym

ath on your hard drive.

Polymath E

xamples (aka, L

iving Exam

ple Problems)

You m

ay have noticed that certain chapters have links to Living E

xample Problem

s. The example problem

s areactually in the text for the 3rd edition of Elem

ents of Chem

ical Reaction Engineering, not on the CD

-RO

M. The

chapter links for these examples direct you to the Polym

ath code for these problems. The Polym

ath code for the LivingExam

ple Problems from

Chapters 2-10 and C

hapters 13-14 is in the Htm

l\Toolbox\Polym

ath\Exam

ples directory onyour C

D-R

OM

. Each chapter is represented by a folder named C

h#, which is short for chapter num

ber, of course.

The Polymath code for these exam

ples has been included on the CD

-RO

M for your convenience, so you w

on't have tow

aste time duplicating the exam

ples from the text. (See the section on accessing the exam

ple problems or the

Polymath Short C

ourse for more inform

ation.) Once you load up an exam

ple, you are encouraged to "play around with

it" by modifying the values of constants, varying key param

eters, etc. In this way, you can get a feel for how

modifying different variables w

ill affect your results.

Using Polym

ath

Polymath is easy to use -- once you know

how! See the section on U

ore information, and don't

forget to take a look at the Polymath M

Why T

wo V

ersions of Polymath?

This is the second printing of the text and the CD

. Polymath 4.1 has better printing features than Polym

ath 4.0.2, but itw

as not available for the first printing of the CD

. We could have replaced Polym

ath 4.0.2 with Polym

ath 4.1, but we

decided to make both versions available instead.

Polymath Short C

ourse

You can also take a look at the Polym

ath Short Course for a quick-and-dirty introduction to Polym

ath. You w

on'tlearn everything about Polym

ath, but you will learn enough to get you started, so you can "play around" w

ith theLiving Exam
