| Learning outcomes |
|
Balance Calculations are a cornerstone in chemical engineering, equipping students with essential tools for the quantitative analysis of chemical processes. The primary goal of this course is to introduce students to the methods and techniques used to balance mass and energy in chemical systems. Students will learn to formulate and solve balance equations for a variety of systems, including both steady-state and unsteady-state conditions, ranging from individual chemical reactors to more complex process units.
