Objectives

This course is based on the application of the theoretical concepts lectured in the UCs of Biofuels, Biorefinery, Separation Processes II, Instrumentation and Control and Petrochemical Products Transformation in several laboratory experiments. It is intended that in this course, students acquire the following skills:

- Plan, execute, develop and optimize experiments in the area of the several referred UCs.

- Interpret results of experiments that highlight some of the fundamental concepts of the same UCs.

-Correlate theoretical models taught with the proper applicability in the treatment of experimental results.

-Handle material /specific equipment used the experiments.

-Assess the importance of the accuracy of measurements performed.

- Develop a scientific report clearly and objectively

Teaching Methods

Laboratory practices performed in the laboratory, followed by evaluation of results, writing a report and oral discussion.

Content Explanation

Petroleum Tecnologies Laboratory IIIB is a curricular unit that aims to consolidate the theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge acquired in the various courses lectured in the same semester
(Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering , Hydrocarbon Sedimentary Basins, Separation Processes II, Control and Instrumentation and Petrochemical Products Transformation). By performing these laboratory experiments, students will gain knowledge of planning, implementation, development and optimization of experiments, in the area of the curricular units that the laboratory work supports, as well as learn to correlate the experimental work with the theoretical models taught, its correct applicability in the treatment of the experimental results. Syllabus was defined to directly follow the curricular unit's objectives, as observed in the previous points in the present questionary.

Methodology Explanation

Petroleum Technologies Laboratory IIIB is a UC that aims to consolidate the theoretical or theoretical-practical knowledge acquired in the several courses of the semester. Several experimental experiments are carried out and results are presented through a written report with evaluation. Questionnaires are made at the beginning of each laboratory class in order to get a better preparation for each experimental work. Student performance in the execution of laboratory work is evaluated as well as the laboratory reports and the laboratory notebook, allowing to get some laboratory experience. The preparation of a report and respective discussion/ presentation allows the teacher to have a better perception of the student understanding concerning the concepts applied in practice. Furthermore, this UC allows the development of technical English writing.
