Objectives
AIM OF THIS COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM AND VAPOUR-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM, AS WELL AS A UNIFIED VISION OF TRANSPORT OF HEAT AND MASS. STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD AND SOLVE EQUATIONS DESCRIBING SIMPLE PROBLEMS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER, PARTICULARLY ORIENTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING.
Prerequisites
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS IS REQUIRED TO ALL THE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THIS COURSE.

2) THE GENERAL OF BALANCE EQUATION AND MASS BALANCE

MASS BALANCE OF CLOSED AND OPEN SYSTEMS IN THE ABSENCE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS, THE TERM ACCUMULATION. THE MASS BALANCE OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS: SEPARATORS AND MIXERS. RECIRCULATION SYSTEMS.
