Chemical Engineering Fundamentals

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. formulate and solve closed steady state material balances on multi-stage systems with and without a recycle and purge; 2. formulate and solve closed steady state Material balances on multi-stage systems that include single and multiple chemical reactions; 3. formulate and solve closed steady state material balances on multi-stage systems that include complete and incomplete conversions; 4. formulate and solve problems involving species and elements for reacting and non- reacting systems; 5. formulate and solve energy balances; and 6. formulate and solve combined material and energy balances.
