Learning Objectives:
1. Apply current knowledge of mathematics and science to solving engineering material and energy balances.
2. Convert from one system of units to another.
3. Define a system for a material and/or energy balance; develop the knowns and unknowns for the system; solve for the unknowns.
4. Solve systems identified in Number 3 which include chemical reactions.
5. Understand the role of multiphase equilibria in solving material and energy balances. In terms of multiphase equilibria, solve simple vapor-liquid equilibrium problems using Raoult’s law for single and multi-component systems.
6. Calculate
and/or find thermal properties suc
7. Begin
to develop team work skills and written communication skill throug
