2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
Objectives: Introduction of students to: density, concentration, temperature, pressure, mass and material balances with and without chemical reaction, stoichiometry, combustion, two phase systems, condensation, vaporization, humidity, energy balances, enthalpy and units, dimensions and conversions, base of calculations, phase equilibrium. At the completion of the course the students will be able to: • Solve relevant problems for unit conversions, calculations for pressure, temperature, mass balances (including multiple components, recycle, split points, multiple units), enthalpy changes (with and without phase changes). • Understand the concepts of systems, physical properties (heats of formation and combustion, vapor pressures, specific heats) | |

| Searching, analysing and synthesizing data and information with the use of relevant technologies. Decision making and problem solving Working in groups and individually Developing strategies and creative thinking with open ended problems |
