Description

This subject introduces students to the basic principles and practice of chemical process engineering to transform raw materials and energy into products that are useful to society at an industrial scale with an emphasis on sustainability. They explore a range of current, emerging, and non-traditional areas where chemical engineers can contribute toward community and environmental wellbeing. Students also develop analytical skills to solve chemical mass and energy balances in a variety of settings, such as close and open loop reactions, to design chemical schematic diagrams and chemical reactors for industries, to utilise energy combustion and separation process and polymer plastics.
