Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture] This course covers the fundamentals of chemical engineering, and is offered for students whose major are not chemical engineering. For students at the other graduate majors, this course provides opportunity to learn about frontier researches in the fields of chemical engineering.
[Aim of the lecture] The concept of chemical engineering is essential for the chemical industry, and nowadays applied to various fields such as environment, energy, biomaterials and medical devices. This course introduces the concept of mass and energy balances, transport phenomena, fluid dynamics, and thermal engineering.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to
1) Understand mass and heat balances and solve basic problems related to mass and heat balances.
2) Understand transport phenomena of mass, heat and momentum and solve basic problems related to transport phenomena.
3) Understand the basis of fluid dynamics and thermal engineering and solve basic problems related to fluid dynamics and thermal engineering.
Keywords
Chemical engineering, Mass balances, Energy balances, Transport phenomena, Fluid dynamics, Thermal Engineering
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In every classes, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day.
