TKP4120 PROCESS ENGINEERING (Introduction to Chemical Engineering)
		PROSESSTEKNIKK
Old course no.: SIK2025, SIK2501
OFFERED BY: DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, NTNU
INSTRUCTOR: Sigurd Skogestad
COURSE LOAD: 7.5 ECU - about 1.25 months full time study  

The couse gives an introduction to quantitative calculations and
modelling of chemical process, including mass- and energy balances,
thermodynamics, equilibrium and reaction kinetics.

The level of the course is similar to, or somewhat above, that of
Felder and Rousseau, "Elementary principles of chemical processes"
(Wiley, 1986).

As a text for the course is used the book "Prosessteknikk"
by S. Skogestad (2nd Edition, Tapir, 2003) (in Norwegian).

Course contents:
Topics from thermodynamics and physical chemistry: State variables,
ideal gas, equations of state, work and heat, Laws of
thermodynamics, entropy, Gibbs energy, equilibrium.
Topics from process engineering: The balance principle.
Mass balances. Mass balances with chemical reactions.
Energy balances (2nd law of thermodynamics). Heat exchange.
Mechanical work (compression and expansion). Work from heat.

Instruction: Starts about August 11. 3 lectures pr. week in 15 weeks. Exercises (required).
Required project on real industrial process.

Exam: Written (Midterm + Final)
