The Fundamental of Chemical Processes prepares the students to formulate and resolve mass and energy balances in systems of chemical processes. This course is a complement to the course Introduction to Chemical and Thermodynamics Engineering and provides the fundamentals for other courses: Reaction Engineering, Unit Operations, Control and Process Design and Optimization. The course teaches how to establish relations between mass and energy equations,  unknown process variables and available relations. The student must relate all the information to find the value of the unknown variables by properly calculation procedures and/or available computational methods.

This is a fundamental course of Engineering. The course intends to make students understand the laws of Thermodynamics applied to pure substances as well as to establish bonds between Thermodynamics, other chemical phenomena and all sciences that are part of Chemical Engineering fundamentals.

The course seeks to apply thermodynamic concepts and fundamentals of mathematics. This concepts and fundamentals are basic for describing a system that reaches phase equilibrium or chemical equilibrium. This knowledge is the base for future courses being able to integrate kinetic aspects and mass transfer in order to design separation units and chemical reactors.

Practical complement of the thermodynamics course concepts.

Practical complement of the phase and chemical balance course concepts.

This course provides students with opportunities to integrate knowledge, skills and basic attitudes in order to correctly complete a task, an action or an intellectual pro- cess according to their professional area. Students must act in a defined context of teamwork.

Momentum transfer, heat and mass are phenomena ruling a lot of chemical processes. They also save strong physics and mathematical analogies. From the basic sciences students will understand importance of the momentum transfer phenomenon and its applicability to Chemical Engineering.

This course introduces phenomena associated to mass and energy transfer in steady and unsteady state systems. This course introduces in the products and processes in chemical engineering using heat and mass transfer principles.

The course will allow students to effectively suggest, execute and analyze experiments that provide significant conclusions to the lab, industry or organization in which they are executed, from a statistical standpoint, and within the actual context of engineering problems. This course covers the following topics: Population comparison (samples), unfactorial designl, pby blocks, latin, graeco-latin and factorial square, response surface analysis and correlation analysis.

The main course objective is to provide conceptual and mathematical tools that will allow students to become familiar with the reactive systems analysis and design. Students must be capable of applying chemistry, kinetics, thermodynamic and matter and energy balance in the design of reactors, identifying the different reactive systems, selecting a reactor for a specific application, evaluating velocity expressions and mathematically modeling the behavior of a reactive system.
