Chemical Engineering

Introduces the discipline of chemical engineering and develops fundamental skills of unit conversion and material balancing. Systems of units for parameters such as concentration, flow, pressure and temperature are explained. Skills for solving steady-state material balance problems on reactive and non-reactive systems. Fundamentals such as vapor-liquid equilibrium, partial saturation and real gas relationships are introduced and integrated into material balance problems. The concepts of enthalpy and energy balances on open systems. Unsteady-state and simultaneous mass and energy balance systems are modeled and solved using computer packages. When combined with 2 ch of approved technical electives, this course is considered equivalent to CHE 1004 + CHE 2004 .

Covers bomb and flow calorimetry, material and energy balance study of the University heating plant, fluid mechanics experiments including flowmeter calibrations and pressure drop measurements in pipes and fittings will be conducted. Interpretation of experimental data, group dynamics, safety issues, report writing and oral presentations. Student will work under close supervision

The principles relating the properties and behaviour of engineering materials to their structure; atomic bonding forces and strength of interatomic and intermolecular bonding forces, atomic arrangements in solids, structural imperfections and atom movements in solids; principles of phase diagrams and their application to multiphase materials, with particular reference to the iron-carbon system; mechanical and electrical properties of engineering materials; semiconductors, polymers and ceramics; and their relation to internal structure .

Laboratory experiments are conducted to illustrate behaviour of materials and other concepts covered in CHE 2501 .
