Course Description

Principles of chemical engineering form the foundation for nearly all chemical engineering

problems and analysis. This course will provide an introduction to the principles and

calculation techniques used in the field of Chemical Engineering. This course is designed to:

• Provide you with the fundamentals of material balances as applied to chemical

engineering to enable the analysis of a chemical process

• Teach you the fundamental concepts of energy balance and heat transfer mechanisms.

• Obtaining a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

1. Convert quantities from one set of units to another quickly and accurately.2. Define and determine properties of process streams including fluid density,

flow rate, chemical compositions, fluid pressure, and temperature.3. Draw and label process flowcharts. Write and solve material balance

equations for single-unit and multiple-unit processes with recycle andbypass and reactive processes.

4. Understand the concepts related to fundamentals of energy balance andheat transfer

5. Learn the fluid properties and understand fluid statics, buoyancy, and flowin pips
