Course Objectives
The course is aimed to introduce the application of the concept of "conservation of mass and energy" as the fundamental tool of engineering analysis. In this respect the subject also serves as a basis to more elaborate and specific treatment of the same principals in thermodynamics, transport phenomena and processing.
Course Content
A brief survey of chemical process principles with a clear orientation to biotechnology. Material and energy balances, basic principles of thermodynamics, kinetics and transfer operations. It aims to provide knowledge of process handling from engineering point of view to non-engineering students.
Course Learning Outcomes
solve engineering/mathematical problems involving processes/systems used in biotechnology
