Technologies and Chemical Processes

Objectives

The goal is for students to formulate and solve mass and energy balances in chemical processes. Basic concepts of thermodynamics, unit operations, kinetics, and dynamics of processes are also introduced. Some technologies and processes used in the chemical industry are addressed.
