Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. D. G. Wood and Ms Joan Gravina
Prerequisite: None for students gaining entry to the Engineering or Science Faculties. This unit is also available for Community Access Programmes.
Contact: 39 hours for the semester consisting of 16 hours of lectures and 23 hours of tutorials - 3 hours per week May be offered in Semester two subject to demand.
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
On completion students should be able to handle basic chemical engineering flowsheet calculations and be conversant in a wide range of units. They should be able to perform simple calculations to predict the behaviour of real gases and vapours.
Content:
Systems of units and unit conversion; concept of conservation of mass is developed as the basis for determining mass flows in chemical processing systems; mass balances around single process units, and groups of units, involving simple systems and recycle streams, and non-reacting and reacting systems; component, elemental balances; gases, liquids and vapours; ideal and real gas behaviour; vapour pressure estimation; study of humidity as an example of material balances involving gases and condensing vapours.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination at the end of first semester.
