Description

The course introduces engineering calculations, the use of common process variables, and conservation and accounting of extensive properties - mass, energy, charge, linear momentum - as a common framework for engineering analysis and modeling. Applications of conservation of mass and energy in analysis of chemical engineering processes will be addressed including recycle, bypass and multi-stream processes. There will be an introduction to equipment, flowcharts, techniques and methodologies used by practicing chemical engineers. Processes system and its variables, mass, volume, flow rates, chemical composition, pressure, temperature, fundamentals of material balance (batch and continuous), single and multiple unit calculations; recycle, bypass and purge calculations; balances on reactive systems, single phase systems and multiple systems.
