Chemical Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Process Design Data Provenance

This Chemical Engineering final year project investigates linking equipment calculations to documented property sources and assumptions, connecting a defined process-engineering question to a reproducible balance, model or approved laboratory comparison.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes linking equipment calculations to documented property sources and assumptions a specific process-engineering problem rather than an open-ended plant description. Evaluating trace completeness, unit errors and revision consistency provides a clear route from assumptions and measurements to plots, calculations and a critical interpretation of the result.

How do the selected process assumptions or operating conditions affect trace completeness, unit errors and revision consistency when linking equipment calculations to documented property sources and assumptions?

Choose a permitted dataset, fictional process case or approved teaching experiment and agree the operating range for linking equipment calculations to documented property sources and assumptions with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the process boundaries, material data and assumptions required for linking equipment calculations to documented property sources and assumptions.
  2. 02Build a small calculation register for fictional equipment, track source versions and test changed units, missing references and revised assumptions.
  3. 03Compare trace completeness, unit errors and revision consistency and explain uncertainty, validity limits and practical constraints.

A suggested research approach

Build a small calculation register for fictional equipment, track source versions and test changed units, missing references and revised assumptions. Confirm data provenance and obtain approval for any materials and laboratory procedure. Check units and mass or energy consistency, retain failed or inconsistent observations, and compare trace completeness, unit errors and revision consistency against a documented reference before interpreting the process implications.

What you will need

  • Fictional equipment calculations
  • Permitted property references
  • Versioned calculation tool

Keep your project scope clear

Traceable calculations can still be wrong and must not be presented as approved engineering designs.
