SYNOPSIS
This course is educates students to identify, formulate and solve mass and energy
balance problems based on the concept of conservation of mass and energy as the
fundamental tool of engineering analysis. Some of the topics covered in this course
are systems of units and dimensions, material balances for process with and without
chemical reaction, gases and vapors, saturation, energy concept and balances, physical
and chemical heat effects and the use of steam tables. Application of simulation
software (HYSIS) in solving the mass and energy balances is also introduced.

COURSE OUTCOME
Upon completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1.
Explain the fundamental concept of material and energy balances.
2.
Apply the basic engineering calculation related to process variables and
chemical process principle for the operation of process units or processes
units.
3.
Formulate the material and energy balance to solve chemical process
problems.
4.
Construct mass and energy balances equations necessary to solve non-reactive
and reactive systems by computer simuation software (HYSIS).
