Teaching

Bradley Ladewig teaches two Chemical Engineering Units each year, with tutorial and demonstrating assistance from many members of the Ladewig Group. These two units are summarised below (content from the Monash University Undergraduate Handbook).

CHE3165 - Separation Processes

Synopsis - A comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of separation processes of interest to the chemical industry is covered. The fundamental principles of mass transfer are introduced and extended to include principles of interfacial mass transfer and simultaneous heat and mass transfer. General mass and energy balances are derived for equilibrium staged processes. The applications of these principles are made to the unit operations of distillation (binary and multi-component), liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid absorption and stripping, adsorption and ion-exchange, and membrane separation processes.

ENG1010 - Process Systems Analysis

Synopsis - A systematic approach to solving a wide variety of engineering problems involving the use of mass and energy balances. Simple models for the sizing of equipment involved in chemical reaction, heat transfer and fluid flow operations. Application of these principles to selected engineering processes such as power generation, beer brewing and refrigeration.
