SKKK1113 PRINCIPLES OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES 1 | Nabella Nuri's Profile

Skkk1113 principles of chemical processes 1 is one of the subject that i must take in chemical engineering course at UTM. I studied this subject in semester 2 2011/2012. For me this principle chemical processes subject is very hard to understand because this is something new for me. Before this, the entire subject that i have learns in matriculation and school was repeated. But this subject is very interesting after we learnt it.

By the end of this course, every student should be able to complete the learning outcome. The first learning outcome is able to carry out unit conversion and equipment identification for various chemical processes, process variables and unit operation. This learning outcome is easy to be done because i have learnt it in introduction to engineering subject in semester 1. I can do the conversion of unit for the problem that be given.

The second learning outcome is able to calculate the mass balance on single or multiple process units with or without recycle, purge, or bypass stream for non reactive and reactive processes. Single process is easier for me rather than multiple processes. This is proven when the result of test 1 and test 2 is not good. I think i have less understanding in solving the problem. I will do a lot more exercise to master the skill. Then the reactive processes there are many ways to solve it by using atomic, molecular, and extent of reaction. I think atomic is the easier ways to solve the problem.

The next learning outcome is able to perform and analyse mass balance calculation of single phase system. This part does not give much problem for me because i already understand this topic. The next learning outcome is demonstrating mass balance calculation of multiple component gas liquid system at equilibrium. This is more difficult than single phase because there are lot equations and i must know how to use the table that provided at the back of the book. I need a lot of practice the problem about the topic to make me more understand.

The last learning outcome is able to solve the problem using first law of thermodynamics and conservative equation by identifying forms of energy, reference state conditions and state properties and can conduct problem solving solution of mass and energy problem using principle of conservation. This topic involve in chapter 7. This topic will be studies more in next semester. For this semester is only the introduction. I think i can follow this topic and able to understand after several time doing the exercises that been given to me.

I hope i can do well in the final. I will work harder to achieve my goal. YOU CAN DO IT !!!
