First course in chemical engineering designed to give the student an acquaintance with the techniques and problems of the chemical engineer. The student should have a background in elementary college chemistry and introductory calculus and the basics of computer programming. I Material and energy balance calculations for steady state design of important separation systems.
Emphasis is on staged processes, such as distillation, extraction and washing.
Discussion and application of physical equilibria. Computer solution of staged process problems. The student should have some knowledge of computer programming, in addition to CM 2001 . This course is primarily for chemical engineers and is the basis for future study in chemical engineering. Problems are based on industrial operations dealing with mixing, and physical and chemical equilibrium.
