CH1104 MATERIALS & ENERGY BALANCES

This subject focuses on the material and energy balances in chemical processes and lays that foundation in other chemical engineering subjects such as thermodynamics, unit operations, reaction kinetics, etc. It introduces the engineering approach to problem solving: Breaking a process down into its components, establishing the relations between known and unknown process variables, assembling the information needed to solve for the unknowns, and finally obtaining the solution using appropriate computational methods.
