Learning outcomes
Apply the basic concepts of conservation of mass and energy, including phase equilibrium, reaction equilibrium and non-ideal gas behaviour to mass and energy balances.
Apply the concepts of unit operations to combine them into a block flow diagram and process flow diagram of a chemical process.
Interpret physical property charts and diagrams to solve problems based on phase equilibrium, refrigeration and heat pump cycles.
Analyse the mass and energy balances of any chemical process, for both steady and unsteady state situations.
Simulate processes using a process simulation software to analyse the mass and energy balance of complex chemical processes and report the results in a technical report.
Interpret experimental measurements of mass, energy and chemical composition and report the results in a lab report.
Teaching approach
Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 60%
Final assessment: 40%
This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
