However, all treatment technologies are separation or rate processes controlled by thermodynamic equilibrium and transport phenomena. Thus, the students are introduced to the fundamental concepts and how they apply in analysis of environmental processes. Physical Chemistry 2. Principles of Conservation of Mass and Energy 5. Differential Equations 6.
Some assignments involve iterative calculations or parameter estimation.
The students use spreadsheet calculations. Students work in groups of three on project assignments which are all open ended questions with non-unique solutions. Group members evaluate each others contribution to the team effort which is taken into consideration in the final grades. All assignments are returned in a report form, typed and with proper format. Occasionally, a group is asked to present their solution.
