Environmental Engineering

ENVE2011Introduction to Environmental Engineering4 ch (3C 2L) (W)

Students will learn about mass and energy balance for reacting and non-reacting environmental engieneering systems under steady state and unsteady state conditions. Fundamentals of momentum, heat and mass transfer as applied in air and water pollution as well as thermodynamic and phase equilibria considerations, contaminant partitioning and transport in air, surface water and groundwater, and chemical reaction kinetics will be explored. Students will be introduced to life cycle analysis, application of ideal continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and plug flow reactor (PFR) concepts in environmental engineering, as well as residence time distribution (RTD) and reactor non-idealities. Students will also participate in a design project. Credit cannot be counted for both ENVE 2011 and ENVT 2011.  

Prerequisite: CHEM 1872 and CHEM 1877. Prerequisites must be passed with a minimum grade of C.

Co-requisite: MATH 2513.
