CHE 22800 Introduction to Chemical Engineering Principles and Practices
Introduction to the techniques of chemical engineering. Basic calculations. Conservation of mass and the use of material balances. Major equipment types: functionality and linear models. Linear material balances for recycle processes. First law of thermodynamics and the use of energy balances. Reaction stoichiometry and energetics. A laboratory component brings above concepts to a process system; a computational laboratory component emphasizes modeling of system dynamics for steady, transient, pure component, mixture, and reactive systems.
