Knowledge
At the end of the course, students should be able to: identify and understand the unit operations involved in a chemical process, draw flowcharts, and develop relationships between process variables; perform simple degree-of-freedom analysis to identify the number of unknowns relating to mass, mass flow rate, composition and energy, and develop the linearly independent mass and energy balances needed to determine unknown quantities; solve for the unknown variables using fundamental laws, empirical relationships, and available data; solve materials and energy balances simultaneously on chemical process systems.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the written exam (3 hours), the student must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and to organise an effective and correctly written reply.

Syllabus
The course teach the fundamental aspects of chemical engineering problem solving and provide the foundation for all subsequent chemical engineering courses: process classification, draw and label flocharts, degree-of-freedom analysis on single unit operations and multiple-unit processes (nonreactive and reactive), material balance calculations on single unit operations and multiple-unit processes (nonreactive and reactive); energy balances.
