This course introduces the students to the foundation of chemical engineering at the intermediate
level. Topics include: the role Chemical Engineers, engineering calculations, process and process
variables, fundamentals of material and energy balances, single phase systems, multi-phase
systems, and energy balances in non reactive.
This module introduces the heat and mass transfer operations most typical to the chemical processing industry, at the intermediate level. It will complement lectures and tutorials specific to the prerequisite modules and will expose the students to practical concepts while enhancing their understanding of the application of the fundamental principles of these topics
This module is designed to give students a clear understanding of the characteristics of particles and how
these characteristics determine such prosperities as its density and conductivity, the surface per unit
volume and the interaction between particles and fluids (liquids and gases). The module will also focus on
some physical unit operations involving particle enlargement or reduction and particle separation and the
design of these processes equipment.

This module introduces students to the fundamental concepts, principles and applications of mass transfer processes. The module covers mass transfer fundamentals such as diffusion, Fick’s law and mass transfer coefficients, and the design of tray and packed columns. Separation processes covered in detail include absorption, distillation and drying.
This course
introduces the students to industrial chemical processes
and strategies to analyze them based on PFD, quality control, environmental
management, and production cost at the intermediated level. Topics include:
process industry, process analysis, introduction to industrial safety
engineering, and the impact on the environment. Processes are in relation to
food, industrial raw materials and products which include sugar, production of
inorganic acids, alumina, Portland cement, distilled spirits, and potable water
