principles of chemical processes II (skkk2123)

semester 1 session 2012/2013

lecturer: Prof .Kamarul Asri Ibrahim

 

This course introduces students to the chemical engineering profession and the fundamental operations of chemical process equipment.It also provides students with the basic principles of chemical engineering energy balances as well as calculation techniques to solve the material and energy balance problems for chemical process systems and equipment.

Course Outcome:

  1. Write basis, reference conditions and carry out unit conversion and equipment identification for various chemical processes, process variable and unit operations in chemical industry.
  2. Perform and solve energy balances with respect to changes in temperature, pressure and phase for non-reactive process.
  3. Calculate the standard heat of reaction using Hess’s Law, heat of formation and heat of combustions and then solve problems for reactive processes.
  4. Define entropy and then calculate the entropy changes in a given process.
  5. Analyze and calculate the performances of power and refrigeration cycles.
  6. Conduct problem solving solution of mass and energy problem using principle of conservation.
  7. Commit in the preparation of learning experience process using E-Portfolio.
