Rousseau, John Wiley, 3rd edition, 2000.
Course Prerequisites: Chem 1211k and Math 1502

Learning Outcomes: Upon satisfactory completion of this course, a student should be
able to:
1. Identify and understand the unit operations involved in a process, draw flowcharts,
and develop relationships between process variables.
2. Perform simple degree-of-freedom analysis to identify the number of unknowns
relating to mass, mass flow rate, composition and energy, and develop the linearly
independent mass and energy balances needed to determine unknown quantities.
3. Solve for the unknown variables using fundamental laws, empirical relationships, and
available data.
4. Write simple phase equilibrium relationships (e.g. Raoults and Henrys laws) and
use phase diagrams.
5. Extract data for pure compounds and mixtures from tables, charts, graphs, or phase
diagrams and estimate these through theoretical or empirical equations.
6. Apply the ideal gas rule and equations of state for real gases.
7. Use solubility data, miscibility charts, and phase relationships to obtain equilibrium
composition of multiphase multi-component systems.
8. Apply the First Law of Thermodynamics to perform energy balances on steady-state
non-reactive and reactive processes.
9. Determine enthalpy and internal energy changes associated with changes in pressure,
temperature, mixing, phase change, and chemical reaction from heat capacities, heats
of solution, latent heats, and heats of formation or combustion.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Solve materials and energy balances simultaneously on chemical process systems.

Extract thermodynamic information from Steam Tables.
Illustrate applicability of mass and energy balances to biological systems.
Work as a team with classmates to perform an engineering case study and present the
results in written and oral form.

* There are a maximum of 5 absences allowed during the term. One point will be
deducted from this composite score for each absence beyond the allowance, and it
would likely result in a lower letter grade in the course.
Ground Rules for Homework:

1. No late homework will be accepted for any reason. Homework is due at the
beginning of the class on the due date.
2. Homework must be done neatly on 8 1/2 X 11 pages. No pages torn out of
spiral notebooks, computer printout sheets or company stationary.
3. Any conflict about the grade on homework or the quiz must be resolved within
one week after the same has been returned.
4. Each homework problem will be graded on a 0-3 points basis as follows:
Correct approach and correct solution
Correct approach but incorrect answer
Sincere but incorrect approach
Out in the sun
