  1. Period I Reports Getting Better

  2. Equations • Complete • Middle of Paragraph • comma • Ending Paragraph • Ending punctuation • Balanced Stiochoimetry • Units of Constants

  3. Engineering Terms • Please use them instead of slang • Examples • Theoretical mole concentration => equilibrium mole fraction • Theoretical empirical model=>??? • Horizontal radial system=>??? • Electronic microscope => Electron Microscope • digital microscope • Liquid level efficiency=>Murphree liquid efficiency • In a company, your reports are archived and used by others, • don't show a lack of professionalism

  4. Writing • Clear • Concise • Coherent • Parallel Sentence Construction less volatile …. creating a vapor that is enriched in the more volatile components and a liquid that is enriched I the heavier components.

  5. Intro • Give some explanation of why the experiment or the equipment has value for chemical engineer • State the problem (or reason for this experiment) in your own words • Finish with your approach to resolving the experimental problem.

  6. Theory • Should cover all ideas/concepts/theory used in results and discussion section. • All equations need to have text describing them. • Figures/Tables are allowed in Theory section. • Need to reference things more throughly

  7. References • Use more thoroughly

  8. Error • Error is the single most important thing in Lab work • get error as low as possible in your work! • Error analysis on all values presented is critical for quality work!

  9. Ideal PFR Ideal CSTR Conversion at 3 residence times of sodium hydroxide vs. stirrer rpm for 1.3 L baffled stirred tank reactor operating at a flow of 1.265±0.03 ml/s for 0.134 ±0.006 M NaOH (the limiting reactant) and 1.019 ±0.02 ml/s 0.167 ±0.009 ethyl acetate. This reaction is second order overall.

  10. Tables & Figures • Figure Stands Alone/Table Stands Alone • Legend needs operating conditions and more about how to interpret the figure/table • Compare to theory whenever possible • Other • Units of Figures and Table column heads • Do not forget axes titles with units

  11. Results and Discussion • What is required for Results and Discussion? • Here are the results, you (the reader) figure it out. (C) • Here are the results and here is what they mean. (A)

  12. Results & Discussion • Describe Figure • Describe Table • Tell the reader what he/she is to get from the figure or table. • The tell the reader what it means • Compare with theory whenever possible • Tables • Figures • With data

  13. Nomenclature Section • Check that all symbols are listed • Need definition and units for each symbol

  14. Conclusions • Do not focus on problems with the lab • Focus instead on the results and error estimates
