Objectives
To offer a holistic understanding of the basic principles of mass and energy balance, engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics.Learning outcomes
The completion of this course should enable students to form a solid foundation for further study of these subjects, as required in their individual programmes. Moreover, the students would gain a coherent understanding of the above mentioned basic subjects in a single course.
Skills outcomes
Students should gain a sound knowledge of the terminologies used, of the fundamental laws of equations and be able to perform basic level calculations in the key subject areas of mass balance, energy balance, engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics.
Syllabus
Mass balances
Energy balances and engineering thermodynamics
Fluid mechanics
Mechanisms of heat transfer
Chemical thermodynamics
Reaction kinetics and electrochemistry
