CHE 210Introduction to Material Balances

3 credits · Chemical Engineering · Penn State

An integrated approach to the study of material balances and industrial chemical processes important in chemical engineering. The objective of this course is to present an introduction to chemical engineering calculations, establish mathematical methodologies for the computation of material balances and to present an overview of industrial chemical processes. It is the introductory course in the chemical engineering curriculum and is normally taken in the sophomore year. It is prerequisite for several junior-level courses in the curriculum, including courses in process fluid dynamics, heat transfer and phase equilibrium.
