Subject Description | Introduction to basic chemical engineering flowsheet calculations, including material balances, unit systems and real gas and vapour behaviour prediction. 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; use of compressibility factor and generalised compressibility factor charts; vapour pressure estimation. Study of humidity as an example of material balances involving gases and condensing vapours. |
Assessment | One examination not exceeding three-hours at the end of first semester |
