Undergraduate - UnitCHE2162 - Material and energy balances

Refer to the specific census and withdrawal dates for the semester(s) in which this unit is offered.

Synopsis

This unit will introduce students to topics in material and energy balances through a systematic treatment of: multiple unit operations, recycle, reactions, equations of state, liquid-vapour phase equilibrium, liquid-liquid equilibrium, latent and sensible heat, heat of reactions, and computer aided simulation. The HYSIS process simulation software will be used to aid in the solution of more complex system.

Outcomes

The student is expected to learn procedures to solve complex material and energy balances.
