Aims of the course

This harmonization course is directed to students who have obtained an electrical engineering bachelor’s degree. It is intended to provide students with general knowledge on the basics of chemical and mechanical engineering. More specifically, the principles of material and energy balances will be presented and applied to mass, energy and momentum conservation. The various modes of heat and mass transfer will also be introduced. The coursework is necessary as a foundation to pursue the other technical modules of DENSYS.

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

Have acquired knowledge and understanding of the topics treated
Be able to establish an integral balance of mass, species or energy for open & closed systems
Be able to establish a local balance of mass, energy and momentum
Master the Bernouilli equation to determine the link between potential, kinetic and pressure energy
Determine the pressure losses in tubes and valves
Be able to size pumps to transport liquids
Distinguish the different modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) and mass transfer
Be able to utilize proper scientific language
