CHME 7601 — Pharmaceutical Engineering II
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: M/WBostonTraditional
Continues a two-semester course series to introduce the fundamental principles of chemical engineering as applied to biopharmaceutical manufacturing, with an emphasis on quantitative problem solving. Covers critical aspects of fluid flow (e.g., pipe/pump sizing, centrifugation); mass transfer (diafiltration, oxygen sparging, membrane fouling); and thermodynamics (partitioning of analytes in chromatography). Focuses on downstream separation unit operations within biopharmaceutical production. Applies computer programming and numerical methods to solve these problems.
