Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course each student is expected to be able to

  • define and describe the process stream variables such as flow rate, composition, pressure and temperature
  • convert stream variables from one unit to other accurately
  • draw and label process flow diagrams from process descriptions, analyse the problems by identifying systems and process units by applying degree of freedom analysis
  • select appropriate reference state and basis
  • apply of conservation of mass and energy around physical and chemical process units
  • analyze the physical state of process streams, apply conservation of mass and energy with complementary equation of state for multiphase systems

Course Content

Basic chemical engineering concepts and methods of analysis. Introduction to mass and energy balance calculations applied to solution of problems in systems of interest to chemical process industries.
