Case Study

The case study described in Chapter 12 of the second edition of the text, Production of Soda Ash from Brine, will form the basis of the project. Copies of this will be distributed in class.

The project must be worked on in a group of no more than three individuals. Group membership may be decided by the class. The final grade for the project, which will form 20% of the course grade, will be based on the solutions for the individual problems assigned below and on the grade given to each group member by the others in the group. It is essential that each person in the group participate in the solution to each of the individual problems. Each assignment must contain the names of each of the group members, their signatures and the person who actually wrote it out. 

The rationale used to find a solution must be clearly (and neatly) explained.  It is neither sufficient nor acceptable to write down a set of numbers and equations with no explanation of where they come from.

The following problems are due from this chapter: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 25

Students should begin working on the problems as soon as possible.
