Know the Chemical Hazards
Safety Procedures for various what if
scenarios
Know the equipment
– Bring P&ID of equipment!!!
– Be prepared to talk about how it works?
– What is measured with what instruments?
– What is the physics behind instruments?
– How accurate are these instruments?
– How will measurement be used to verify the
theory?
Know the Theory
• With the problem statement, what theory is
needed?
• How are measurements going to be used
to prove the theory being tested?
• How are the theory and measurements
going to be used for the design aspects of
the problem?
Error Analysis
• How will error analysis be performed on
the data to verify the theory?
• Is the measurement equipment accurate
enough for this test of the theory?
• What statistical test will you use to
compare theory with experiment?
• How will you propagate the error in any
(design) calculation needed for your
report?
Hazards
• Chemical
– EHS concerns for each chemical
– Personal Protections needed
– Spill Procedures to be followed
– Waste Procedures
• Equipment
– Safety concerns of its operation
• How can you get hurt using it?
Safety Procedures
• What to do in case of
– Fire
– Electrical Hazard
– Spill
