| DESCRIPTION | The study-unit will help students recognise the various steps and phase changes that occur during a chemical processes and problems that may occur during chemical a process. The study-unit will also give expose to the fundamental use of energy and material balances in all chemical processes in order to have elementary knowledge for the solution of problems in a chemical process scenario. Study-unit Aims: The study-unit is aimed at giving the students an appreciation of two fundamental aspects of chemical engineering; namely mass transfer and heat transfer in chemical processes. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Describe the instruments and apparatus used for the various steps within a chemical process. 2. Distinguish between the various modes of heat transfer and mass transfer within a chemical process. 3. Describe the dependence of a particular physical process on the material properties of the apparatus in which that process is taking place. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Develop energy and material balance audits in industrial fields other than the chemical industry. 2. Apply the concept of energy and material balances at the various steps within chemical process. 3. Evaluate energy and mass transfer occurring in chemical processes.
