INTRODUCTION | Chemical engineering and production processes. General concepts. Type of processes used in Chemical Engineering. Variables used in Chemical Process: Dimension and units. Unit systems normally used in Chemical Engineering (SI and EI). Significant figures for measures. Thermodynamic, dimensional and unit consistency for equations stated. |
MATERIAL BALANCES | The principle of mass conservation. Equations used for material balances at steady state. Degrees of freedom. Resolution of material balances with linear and non-linear equations. Systems with multiple subsystems. Recycle, bypass and purge streams. Chemical reactions. Material balances in processes involving chemical reactions. |
PHASE EQUILIBRIA | The states of aggregation of matter. Phase diagrams. State equations for gases. Partial pressure and vapor pressure. Vapor-liquid equilibrium. Saturation. Partial saturation and humidity. Liquid-liquid equilibrium. Solubility. Partially miscible or immiscible liquids. Material balances in processes involving different phases. |
ENERGY BALANCES | Forms of energy. Conservation of energy. First law of thermodynamics. Enthalpy changes with or without phase transitions. Energy balances in systems involving chemical reaction. |
