Finals are around the corner. what I have written is a little of what I have learned in Chapter 9 Principle of Chemical Process about 2 weeks ago. Firstly, the highest tribute to the PM Dr Azeman to give us time to prepare reflection.
Chapter 9 does not have too much different from chapter 8. Mostly, the way of the calculation. Also, it need to do mass balance first and energy balance. For mass balance, it depends on the question. Sometimes we need use the atomic balance and sometimes use the extent of reaction or so on. So called, we need to revise the basic and adding some new way to solve certain question. Not to forget, the Hess Law. New law to be learnt in this topic.
Done with mass balance, we need to construct the inlet-outlet enthalpy table. Each flow rates, has its own enthalpy. This table important for energy balance calculation. But remember, do not forget to include the reference state of the chemicals enter and out.
Next, the energy balance. There two types of methods to calculate energy balance. The heat of formation and the heat of reaction. Table B.1 , table B.2 and so on played the important role in this calculation. For heat of reaction, we need to calculate the extent of reaction first.
I think this it for now, thank you.
