411-102 Chemical Process Analysis 1

Credit Points:

7.1

Coordinator:

Professor David Boger and Ms Joan Gravina

Prerequisite/s:

None for students gaining entry to the Engineering or Science Faculties. This unit is also available for Community Access Programmes.

Timetable:

Semester 1

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

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 2-hour examination at the end of first semester.
