Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify unit operations involved in a process, draw process
flowcharts, and develop relationships between process
variables.
2.
Perform simple degree-of-freedom analysis to identify the
number of unknowns relating to mass, mass flow rate,
composition, and energy, and develop the linearly
independent mass and energy balances needed to
determine unknown quantities.
3.
Solve for the unknown variables using fundamental laws,
empirical relationships, and available data.
4.
Solve material balances on chemical process systems.
Synopsis
Students are exposed to overall view of unit operations with the
description of processes. Use of basic engineering calculation,
unit conversion. Perform mass balance of non-reactive and
reactive systems using tables, charts and software.
