Learning Outcomes
Globally it is intended that at end of this course the student should be able to:
1 - Describe the behavior of an ideal gas.
2 - Apply the principle of conservation of any extensive property in the formulation of the balance equation (inventory).
3 - Diagnose a given chemical process, listing the relevant properties in their analysis as well as the equations that relate such variables.
In particular, the student should be able to:
1 - Convert volume flow rate in mass or molar flow rate for an ideal gas.
2 - Formulate and solve material balances by applying the principle of conservation of mass.
3- Apply the concept of stoichiometry in mass balances with chemical reaction.
4 - Analyze the degrees of freedom of a system identifying the unknowns and the relationships between them.
5 - Apply Bernoulli's principle of the fluid flowing through a pipe.
6 - Evaluate head losses in pipes of different materials.
7 - Distinguish between internal energy and enthalpy, flow and shaft work.
8 - Formulate and solve energy balance by applying the principle of conservation of energy.
9 - Calculate internal energy and enthalpy changes for physical transformations.
