Chemical Engineering Principles
Making reactions happen at scale, continuously and safely
Chemistry in a flask is a batch that someone watches. Chemical engineering is the same reaction running continuously, at tonnes per hour, with the heat, the separation and the safety all designed in. It starts with accounting for every kilogram.
Processes and Balances
Mass, energy, reactors and separation
- Mass BalancesFreeEverything that goes in comes out or accumulates. The simplest idea in the discipline, and the one every calculation rests on.14 min
- Energy Balances & HeatFreeReactions release or absorb heat at industrial scale, and getting it in or out is usually the hard part of the design.14 min
- Reactors, Conversion & YieldFreeBatch or continuous, stirred or tubular, and the difference between converting reactant and actually getting product.13 min
- Separation ProcessesFreeGetting the product out of the mixture, which is usually most of the plant and most of the energy.13 min
