Particle Technology
This unit provides a thorough introduction to particle technology. The unit begins with understanding particle
characterisation, the fluid mechanics of single and multi-particle systems and particulate fluidization. The physics
underlying powder flow will be covered to enable introductory hopper design. Common powder processing
operations will be studied, selected from powder mixing/segregation, sedimentation, dewatering and size
enlargement.

Blooms Taxonomy:
A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom, identified three domains of educational
activities:
o Cognitive: mental skills (Head)
o Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Heart)
o Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Hand)
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This
includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that
serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills.
The affective domain includes the attitudes with which someone deals with things
emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms and motivations.
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motorskill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed,
precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.
Key for the table above: Psychomotor: P1 (Low), P2 (Medium), P3 (High), Affective: A1
(Low), A2 (Medium), A3 (High), Cognitive: C1 (Low), C2 (Medium), C3 (High)

Estimated return date: One week after the test.
Criteria for marking: Marks will be awarded for correct answers and solutions based on
marking scheme.
Assessment task 2: Test 2
Details of task: A 50 min closed-book test covering Lectures 9-14.
Value: 10%
Estimated return date: One week after the test.
Criteria for marking: Marks will be awarded for correct answers and solutions based on
marking scheme.
Assessment task 3: Laboratory experiment 1
Details of task: A 2-hour laboratory experiment (particle size analysis) followed by the
submission of a joint laboratory report within one week after the lab session. The laboratory
work will require preparation prior to attending the laboratory classes.
Value: 5%
Estimated return date: Two weeks from the last date of submission.
Criteria for marking: Completion of the practical activity to an acceptable standard; ability to
solve problems; participation in group work; quality of laboratory report.
Assessment task 4: Laboratory experiment 2
Details of task: A 2-hour laboratory experiment (fluidized bed) followed by the submission of
a joint laboratory report within one week after the lab session. The laboratory work will require
preparation prior to attending the laboratory classes.
Value: 5%
Estimated return date: Two weeks from the last date of submission.
Criteria for marking: Completion of the practical activity to an acceptable standard; ability to
solve problems; participation in group work; quality of laboratory report.
Assessment task 5: Final examination
Details of task: A 3-hour closed book examination with 5 questions covering all the lectures.
Formulas and data sheet will be provided.

Extensions and penalties
Due dates and extensions
The due dates for the submission of assignments are given in the previous section. Please
make every effort to submit work by the due dates. Students are advised to NOT assume that
granting of an extension is a matter of course.
If you need an extension for any of the assignments, you must submit a written request 48hours before the due time and date, and attach supportive evidence such as medical
certificate.
Refer to the Special Consideration webpage for eligibility criteria, forms etc:
http://www.monash.edu.au/exams/special-consideration.html
Special consideration policy
Special consideration procedures.
Note that other lecturers cannot grant extensions. The lecturer-in-charge (unit coordinator) will
indicate at the time of granting the extension whether any penalty in marks will apply to the
submitted work. If an extension is granted, the approval must be attached to the assignment.
The standard late penalty of 10% reduction in your mark, per day late, will apply to
assignments and lab reports. If you have a legitimate reason, please see the lecturer-incharge, and bring a filled in cover sheet, so the re-negotiated date can be recorded on the
coversheet and signed off. This applies to lab reports and assignments.
Late assignment
If you are late in applying for an extension or you dont have a good reason, you should still
submit the work, but 10% of the total marks available for that assessment component will
usually be deducted for each day late.
No assignment will be accepted once an assignment has been returned to the class.
Deferred tests and examinations may be granted in cases of extenuating personal
circumstances such as serious personal illness or bereavement.
Remember, you are required to keep an up-to-date copy of all submitted assignments to
safeguard against the loss of work through accident or error.
Returning assignments
Students can expect assignments to be returned within two weeks of the submission date or
after receipt, whichever is later.

Assessment for the unit as a whole is in accordance with the provisions of the Monash
University Education Policy at:
http://www.policy.monash.edu/policybank/academic/education/assessment/index.html
Resubmission of assignments
No resubmission will be permitted.
Referencing requirements
Students are allowed to follow any of the major referencing styles (e.g. Harvard) they prefer.
To build your skills in citing and referencing, and using different referencing styles, see the
online tutorial Academic Integrity: Demystifying Citing and Referencing at
http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/tutorials/citing/
Assignment submission
Hard Copy Submission (lab reports):
Assignments must include a cover sheet. The coversheet is accessible via the Monash portal
page located at http://my.monash.edu.au under the heading Learning and teaching tools.
Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records. The reports are to be submitted to
the lab demonstrator within one week after the lab session.
Online Submission (lab reports):
A soft copy of the lab report in Word (.doc) format must also be submitted to the Moodle
(Turnitin Assignment) within one week after the lab session.
Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.
Feedback to you
Feedback will be given through comments on the assignments, test and project. Verbal
feedbacks will be provided during tutorial classes and lectures. Feedback to the whole class
will also be given if certain matter concerns all students.

Your Feedback to Us
One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning
experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The
feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are
satisfied with and areas for improvement.
Previous Student Evaluations of this Unit
In response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:
Students have been given the related data and equations before the assessment.
Improvement on the presentation of tutorial questions has been done, along with the
corrections of mistakes found in some questions.
Lecture notes are well presented, clear and concise. Tutorials are very useful in the
understanding of the concepts taught.
This unit is very engaging.
