IQUI - Chemical Engineering
This course, Introduction to Chemical Engineering, seeks to teach first semester students how to identify, explain and put into practice basic concepts of Chemical Engineering and concepts common to all Engineering programs. Students must distinguish between Chemical Engineering and other Engineering branches. Students must develop basic skills in communication, teamwork and assessment. The course seeks to have students identify, interpret, fulfill and recognize their rights and responsibilities as students of the Universidad de los Andes. Students must identify services offered by the university and use them properly.

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.

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.

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.

Separation processes in mixtures are essential in chemical, petroleum, food, biochemistry and pharmaceutical industries. In this course students will use fundamen- tals of phase equilibrium, transport phenomena and Thermodynamics in order to distinguish separation processes using graphic and analytic methods. By using this knowledge, students will develop skills to select useful equipment for these processes.

The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental understanding of the principles that govern the principles of diffusive and convective transport in various systems of interest for Chemical Engineering. To such end, modern tools and methods of heat and mass problem analysis are presented. Analysis includes both qualitative analysis (the one that does not require solution of partial differential equations and its borderline conditions) and the analytic solution that applies various mathematical methods and techniques. These analyses are supplemented by the application of advanced computer tools that include specialized packages such as Matlab, COMSOL and ANSYS-CFX, which enable the computer solution of complex systems for which the analytical solution is difficult.
