ChE 26

Fundamentals of

Programming for

Chemical

Engineers

3 unit (2 h lec, 3 h

lab)

Prereq: Math 53

Concepts and methodsof programming as a

computational tool.

Computer solutions to

mathematical problems

in chemical engineering

Although its a ChE subject, you

wont encounter any ChEconcepts; its purely

mathematical in nature. All you

need here is a little bit of logic

and computer know-how. The

programming language used

depends on the professor.

ChE 100

Introduction tothe Chemical

Engineering

Profession

1 unit (1 h lec)

Prereq: Chem 16

Introduction to chemical

engineering: history and

emerging trends in

various fields. The role

of chemical engineers in

the development of

society. The chemical

engineering profession.

Overview of unit

operations, mass and

energy balances, and

chemical reaction

engineering.

This is a new addition to the ChE

curriculum. Almostpuroconcepts, history and

introduction to chemical

engineering ang mae-encounter

mo.

ChE 101

Introduction to

Chemical

Engineering

4 units (3 h lec, 3 h

lab)

Prereq: Chem 17,

Math 53, ChE 100

Problem-solving

techniques in solving

chemical engineeringproblems; Mass and

energy balances in unit

operations and unit

processes; Principles of

phase equilibrium as

applied to unit

operations.

This is the real deal ChE

introductory course. Brush up

on your chemistry skills (esp

Chem 17), because youre reallygoing to need it. If Math 17/53 is

the filter for engg students,

then ChE 101 is THE filter for

ChE students. Most questions

integrate concepts and

calculations, and making

assumptions are hard so be

careful guys!

3rd year

ChE 106

Mathematical

Methods in

Chemical

Engineering

3 units (2h lec, 3 h

lab)

Prereq: Math 55,

ChE 26, ChE 101

Mathematical solutionsof problems in chemical

engineering. Analytical

& numerical solutions to

ordinary and partial

differential equations.

Vector analysis.

If youre used to analytical

solutions that can be solved byhand in your math series, then

youll be surprised by ChE 106.

There are equations in ChE that

cant be solved using common

mathematical methods. But not

to worry, ChE 106 will teach you

the techniques to solve these


2/3

types of equations either by

paper or by code.

ChE 122

Chemical

Engineering

Thermodynamics

I

3 units (3 h lec)

Prereq: Math 55,

ChE 101

Application of the first

and second laws of

thermodynamics to

closed and open

systems, flow and non-

flow processes.

Thermodynamic

properties of fluids.

Power cycles,

refrigeration and

liquefaction processes.

ChE 122 is the detailed and

integrated version of your

Physics 73 thermodynamics +

Chem 17 + ChE 101. Sasanayin

ka nito mag-energyand mass

balancethe two skills we

should master in ChE. Towards

the end, youll know how steam

power plants work. By that time,

you should be able to solve the

input and output streams of the

different processes inside steam

power plants.

ChE 123

Chemical

Engineering

Thermodynamics

II

3 units (3 h lec)

Prereq: ChE 106,

ChE 122

Thermodynamic

properties of

homogeneous mixtures.Phase and chemical

reaction equilibria.

Calculations involving

models on homogenous

mixtures, phase and

chemical reaction

equilibria.

This focuses more on the

mechanical side of

thermodynamics. Here youllrealize that the concept of non-

ideality from ChE 122 is not

enough (lol, whut?). Problem-

solving here is quite lengthy, but

if you really practice, you'll

surely get high scores on the

exams.

ChE 125

Chemical

Reaction

Engineering I

3 units (3 h lec)

Prereq: Chem 31,

ChE 106, ChE 122

Kinetics of

homogeneous reactions.

Analysis of various

chemical reactors.

Brush up on your Chem 17 and

ChE 101 skills, couse youll need

it here! This will be your first

designing course by the way (apreview to your future plant

design courses)youll start

with computing the size of the

reactor or identifying what type

of reactor to use, then proceed

to much more complicated stuff

like those involving

temperature, pressure, etc.

ChE 131Transport

Processes

#3 units (3 h lec)

Prereq: ChE 106

Fundamentals of heat,

mass & momentumtransport. Differential

balances; equations of

change. Molecular &

turbulent transport

systems. Applications to

interphase transfer.

This subject revolves around

balances like heat balances,

mass balances, etc. (although

you should not be deceived by

the simple notion that in=out

its not as easy as that. ). Trust

people when they say that this is

the most difficult course in

Chemical Engineering. Pro tip?

Keep on looking for good study

materials and keep on

4th Year

ChE 132Stagewise

Operations

3 units (3 h lec)

Prereq: ChE 106,

ChE 123

Unified treatment ofstagewise operations.

Numerical & graphical

solution techniques.

Design of multistage

equipment.

Youll study mostly about the

properties of mixtures in

different types of equilibrium

(e.g. solid-liquid, liquid-liquid,vapor-liquid). There are also

some designing involved,

especially for distillation

columns. Most concepts are

hard to absorb and integrate

into the designing part, but

always remember to think

outside the box, and things will

go well.

ChE 133

Heat and Mass

Transfer

Equipment

Design


lab)

Prereq: ChE 131

Applications of the

principles of separation

& rate processes to the

design of heat and mass

transfer equipment.

This is another design course,

but this time it encompasses

heat and mass transfer between

bodies. This, along with 132 and

134 will really help you

appreciate the course even

more, because these three deal

with the physical aspects of ChE,

unlike the previous ones

wherein most of the things are

based on theory.

ChE 134

Momentum

Transfer and

Materials

Handling

Equipment

Design


lab)

Prereq: ChE 131

Application of the

principles of momentumtransfer to process

equipment design. The

energy balance in flow

systems. Materials

handling.

ChE 134 deals with unit

operations such as filtration, size

reduction, agitation, materialshandling, pumps, etc. Youll

experience here the visible and

most physical part of ChE.

Compared to the other two (132

and 133), ChE 134 is the easiest

concept-wise.

ChE Courses

Hey guys! We all know what chemical engineering is in the most basic sense. It simply involves making

things. But do we know what happens inside the plant? What occurs inside the reactors, or how

materials are transformed from one form to another? Not to worry guys because during your five years(or more! hihihi!) in the department, youll encounter various subjects that will guide you throughout

the inner workings of the most versatile kind of engineering. Weve listed these courses and gave alittle

bit of info about them in order to help you understand what youll be facing in the future. Good luck

guys!
