Material and Energy Balances: 3 semester hours

Catalog description

Application of the laws of conservation of mass and energy to reacting and nonreaction simple and complex chemical systems. Application of both element and species balance to multiple reaction systems. Application of static fluid pressure measurements to safety hazards in vessels, process calculations involving safe handing of fuel-air mixtures between lower and upper flammability limits and purging of gases through relief valves. Application of the degree-of-freedom analysis to single process units and multi-unit process flow-sheets. Numerical solution techniques for the solution of balance equations. Prerequisites: ( CHEM 1304 or CHEM 1043 or CHEM 1403 or CHEM 1034) and ( PHYS 2325 or PHYS 2513) and ( CHEG 1202 or CHEG 1022).
