Outline and Purpose of the Course Balances of mass, volume, mole amount, and elements of substances as well as balance of energy is a fundamental of chemical engineering. Physical and chemical principles which are required for taking material and energy balance in problems about chemical processes are lectured. How to calculate the mass, component (element), and energy balance as for application processes is explained and practiced.
Course Goals To acquire capability to analyze complicated chemical industrial processes from balance point of view as well as to cope with design and operation of chemical processes quantitatively.
Schedule and Contents Week 1: Dimensions and units--- How to express dimensions and units, which are basic concept of measurement, and importance of dimensions and units is lectured.

Weeks 2--4: Fundamentals of material balance--- Flow system (closed and open), steady and unsteady operations, expression of composition of mixture, material balance over a single apparatus, and their exercises.

Weeks 5--6: Fundamentals of energy balance--- Forms of energy, calculation of apparent and latent heats, energy balance with no chemical reactions, and their exercises.

Weeks 7--8: Process flow diagram and unit operations--- Various unit operations, principles of separation processes, and process flow diagram are lectured.

Weeks 9--10: Material and energy balance of complicated processes--- Calculation of balance of processes including chemical reactions or phase changes is lectured. As well, how to understand material balance in case of many apparatus connected, merging, splitting, and recycling included is explained.

Weeks 11--13: Practice of taking balance in chemical processes--- Calculation of material and energy balance in complicated chemical processes is exercised.

Weeks 14: Scale-up. Methodology of scaling up apparatus is generally explained as well as introduction to kinetics required for design is lectured.

Week 15: Learning achievement evaluation.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation will be based on exercises at class, assignments, and an examination.
Course Requirements Basic knowledge on thermodynamics lectured in Physical Chemistry: Fundamentals and Exercises, and Physical Chemistry I (Chemical Engineering) is required.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) As many exercises as possible will be imposed at class. Assignments will be imposed every week. Bring a scientific calculator to the class.
