Student Learning Outcomes
Students will solve problems involving calculations of mass and mole fraction, molecular weight, partial pressure, and relative humidity; apply correct units in problems and identify when unit conversions are needed.
Students will solve gas-phase problems using the Ideal Gas Law and gas-liquid equilibrium problems using Raoult’s Law and Henry’s Law.
Students will solve biological and chemical kinetics problems involving zero, first, and second order reversible and irreversible reactions (single or multiple reactions).
Students will solve macro-scale material balance (species, atomic, and molar) problems under steady and unsteady state conditions with and without reactions.
Students will solve molecular and interphase mass transfer problems under steady and unsteady state conditions involving calculations of molar velocity and flux, using Fick’s Law, and estimating mass transfer coefficients.
