What it covers
This unit introduces the fundamentals of material and energy balances through a structured exploration of chemical process systems. Topics include steady-state and transient processes, single- and multiple-unit operations, reactive and non-reactive processes, recycle and bypass operations, extent of reaction, equations of state, vapour–liquid and solid–liquid phase equilibria, and internal energy and enthalpy changes associated with variations in temperature, pressure, phase, reaction, and chemical composition. Computer-aided process simulation is incorporated to support the analysis of material and energy balances for more complex chemical processes.
