Details
Based on the well-received face-to-face offering, this course has been structured to provide flexibility in a virtual training environment. Interactivity is retained by enabling participants to split out into virtual break-out rooms to work on examples that help cement understanding of the material presented. The course has been split into a series of core modules providing an Introduction to Chemical Engineering Science (four, 3-hour sessions) and a series of elective modules covering some practical applications of the material from the Introduction.
Introduction to chemical engineering science
What is chemical engineering?
- What do some chemical engineers do?
- Dimensionless groups
- Process representations and their uses
- Conservation of mass and material balances
- Conservation of energy and energy balances
Fundamental fluid mechanics
- Basics of fluid behaviour

- Flow measurement
Heat transfer fundamentals
- Fundamentals of conduction and convection, heat transfer coefficients
Mass transfer fundamentals
- Introduction to mass transfer
- Phase equilibria
- Mass transfer coefficients
Reaction engineering
