Analysis of Chemical and Biological Processes

Catalog description

Many problems can arise in the design of a new process or in the analysis of an existing process. This course introduces basic concepts and methods to solve problems in chemical and biological processes. We will focus on using the principle of mass conservation to determine the amount of products when given amounts of raw materials and vice versa. We will also apply the principle of energy conservation to analyze processes involving reactive and non-reactive systems. This course will prepare students for their subsequent courses in the chemical and biological engineering major such as transport phenomenon, kinetics, and process separations.
