ENGR 2333 - Elementary Chemical Engineering

3 Credits (3 hrs. lec.) This course is the foundation for nearly all future chemical engineering courses and analysis. A strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is required for application to the solution of problems in industrial chemistry. Students will receive an introduction to chemical engineering calculations, unit equations, process stoichiometry, material and energy balances, and states of matter, and will apply the laws of conservation of mass and energy to reacting and non-reacting, simple and complex chemical systems.

Course Outcomes
1 - Apply various systems of units to chemical engineering problems.
2 - Define and relate process variables.
3 - Describe qualitatively the basic unit operations of chemical processes and the principles of operation for each.
4 - Use a systematic approach to solve chemical engineering problems by identifying variables, drawing a process flow chart from a written description, applying degrees of freedom analysis, and formulating mathematical expressions.
5 - Apply material balances for reacting and non-reacting systems.
6 - Apply energy balances for reacting and non-reacting systems.
7 - Present basic engineering information in reports.
