Teaching Method
Outline:
Chemical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the operation and design of chemical plants. This course introduces the unit operations of (1) transport phenomena involving fluid dynamics, material balance, and energy balance, and (2) the distillation process through gas-liquid equilibrium.
Style:
Assignments will be given for each lecture. The assignments will help you review and prepare for the lecture.
Short exercises will be given during the class. Please remember to bring your calculator.
Notice:
If you have any questions, please ask them in class.
No questions will be accepted during the exam period.
