| COURSE DESCRIPTION |
Course objectives |
Gain knowledge of application of principles of conservation of mass and energy to chemical process systems. To acquire a basic knowledge of the systematic problem solving related to the quantity and composition of process input and outputs. |
Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course |
|
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
After passing the exam the student is expected to know:
- explain the law of conservation of mass and write general material balance equation on (continuous) steady-state and (batch) unsteady-state processes,
- write material balances on unreactive and reactive processes,
- write a flowchart of single and multiple-unit processes and solve the system of mass balance equations in order to define amount and composition of material of each process stream,
- apply the law of conservation of energy and write energy balances for chemical processes,
- write energy balances on opened and closed steady-states systems,
- apply simultaneous material and energy balances. |

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
During the semester student may take the exam by two written tests. Tests are consisting of questions from lectures and seminars. Test passing score is 55%. After passing both tests the grade of theoretical part is determined from the average score by the following criteria: 55%-66% - satisfactory, 67%-78% - good, 79%-89% - very good, 90%-100% - excellent.
Students who do not pass the partial exams have to take a written exam in the regular examination periods. Final grade is determined by previously notated criteria. |
