Course Summary
This course has two elements: 1) a series of Engineering example classes and workshops on the mass and energy balance calculation techniques for the analysis and design of chemical processing equipment and 2) Chemistry lectures and tutorials (drawn predominantly from Chemistry 2A).
Course Description
1) Engineering: simple mass balances and degree-of-freedom analysis2) Engineering: mass balances with reactions, conversion, extent of reaction, atomic balances, stoichiometry, multiple reactions3) Engineering: mass balances with recycles, ideal and non-ideal recycle loops, recycle ratios, conversion, yield, purge4) Engineering: types of energy, closed and open systems, enthalpy, phase change, latent heat, temperature change, heat capacity5) Engineering: energy balances with reactions, reference states, heat of reaction, heat of formation, Hess's law6) Chemistry: kinetics, reaction rates7) Chemistry: separation techniques, mass spectrometry8) Chemistry: industrial organic chemistry, feedstock, cracking, polymerisation
