PROCESS ANALYSIS 1 Module CD207 10 Credits Dr S.J. Shilton Course Outline Mass and Mole Units. Chemical Reactions. Material Balances. Gases and Vapours. Liquid Mixtures and Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium. Thermochemistry. Material and Energy Balances including Enthalpy Concentration’ Charts, Psychrometry and Unsteady State Processes. Learning Objectives By the end of the course the student should: Have gained fundamental computational skills: expressing composition, converting between mass and mole units, stoichiometry and reaction terminology. Have gained fundamental skills in solving material balance problems: basis of calculation, selection of system boundary, labelling of strategic points, solving simultaneous equations, Appreciate the various types of behaviour of liquid and gas mixtures. Understand vapour-liquid equilibrium. Understand the concept of heat content or enthalpy, reference conditions, enthalpy changes due to phase transition and mixing. Be able to calculate heats of reaction using tabulated standard thermochemical data. “Have gained fundamental skills in solving simultaneous material and energy balance problems: selection of system boundary, heat content, enthalpy changes, heat transfer across system boundary, enthalpy-concentration charts, psychrometry and unsteady state processes.

MASS AND MOLE UNITS The atomic weight of an element is the mass of an atom on a scale that assigns © (the isotope of carbon whose nucleus contains six protons and six neutrons) a mass of exactly 12. The molecular weight of a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms that constitute a molecule of the ‘compound. The molecular (atomic) weight is used to relate the mass of a substance to the number of molecules and the concept of a mole is introduced to represent the number of molecules: Mass Number of Moles ———_— lumber of Moles = eT dar Weight and No of Moles is Directly Proportional to Number of Molecules. ‘Thus if the molecular weight of a substance is M then lg-mole =Mg 1 kg-mole = M kg 1ib-mole = M lb e.g. 1 kg-mole of methanol (CH30H) weighs 32 kg. 1 g-mole of any species contains 6,02 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number) molecules. NB i g-mole is written as 1 mol in the SI system of units. Lkg-mole" " “Lkmol" "Si" " " Ld
