Introduction into Process Balancing

Module Description:

The students will learn:

  • Vectorial formulation of balance equations for conservation of mass, heat and momentum
  • Definition of balance spaces
  • Differential and unsteady-state balances
  • Reactive sources and sinks
  • Combined heat and mass balances
  • Solution techniques for linear and non-linear algebraic balance equations
  • Illustration of balancing principles in chemical engineering with examples drawn from thermodynamics , fluid mechanics , transport processes , reaction engineering , thermal and mechanical unit operations

In the tutorials the subject matter of the lecture will be treated using a variety of illuminating examples from different chemical engineering areas. Both analytical and numerical methods to solve the balance equations will be applied.
