Process EngineeringCHE 2800 Spring 2002 Dr. Holly Moore
Text • Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes • Felder and Rousseau • Periodic Table • Perry’s Handbook – You’ll need it sooner or later
Syllabus • On Line • Lectures will be posted as we go • Sample tests will be posted as we come to them
What is Process Engineering? • Chemical engineers are frequently involved in producing chemicals in both large and small production facilities • Making something in large amounts is different from making it in a chemical laboratory • Process engineering is the discipline of converting raw materials to the desired products
What will we be studying? • Process Engineering is generally divided into two categories • Material Balances – Chapters 3 to 6 • Energy Balances – Chapters 7 to 9
What’s so hard about material and energy balances? • Reactions happen!! • In most of your classes thus far you haven’t considered chemical reactions. • Not only will the identity of the materials change, but energy will be evolved or consumed.
But first… • Before we can study either of these, we’ll need to review some problem solving techniques - Chapter 2 • We need to make sure we are all speaking the same language
