PEC-BCT 0014 Process balances and chemical thermodynamics
Course Description
This course is designed to provide anyone with a fundamental understanding of process balances and chemical thermodynamics in the context of chemical engineering and related fields. The course aims to equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary for analyzing and designing chemical processes and systems.
Course Contents
Examination of Industrial and Chemical Processes, Covering Mass and Energy Conservation Principles, Thermochemistry, Characteristics of Pure Substances, Solution Properties, Energy Principles, and the First Law of Thermodynamics. Exploration of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Entropy, and their Implications. Application of Thermodynamic Laws to Address Fluid Behavior, Flow Processes, Power Cycles, Refrigeration and Heat Pump Systems, as well as Phase and Chemical Reaction Equilibria.
Who can get Benefits from this course?
A course in process balances and chemical thermodynamics can benefit a wide range of individuals, particularly those in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related disciplines. Here are some groups of people who can benefit from such a course: Chemical Engineering Students, Chemistry Students, Chemical Engineers and Practicing Chemists, Environmental Engineers, Researchers and Scientists, Energy Industry Professionals, Process Engineers, and Anyone Interested in Chemistry and Thermodynamics. Process balances and chemical thermodynamics is relevant to a wide range of individuals in scientific, engineering, and industrial fields, as well as those with a general interest in chemistry and thermodynamics. These concepts form the basis for understanding and optimizing chemical processes, making them essential in various professional and educational contexts.

The distance education program works as follows:
• Each course is 8 weeks in duration.
• You will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material via the internet. In addition, you will receive practice problems and assignments very similar to the associations past exams.
• A one-hour conference meeting session will be conducted by your instructor each week. The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments as well as answer student questions that should be sent to the instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition, by being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions answered as well.
• Each set of assignments must be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed assignment will be marked and returned by your instructor.
• Upon completion of the assignments, you will be sent a final exam. It is recommended that you try to simulate the actual exam conditions (i.e., no aids and a time limit) when writing it. You will then submit this final exam for review and marking.
