Governing Equations in Chemical Engineering

The document summarizes key governing equations used in chemical engineering, including: 1. Equations of continuity, energy, and motion that are based on conservation principles. 2. The Navier-Stokes and Euler equations, which are forms of the equation of motion. 3. How these equations are derived from mass and momentum balances on a control volume. 4. Common equations of state like the ideal gas law and Van der Waals equation that relate pressure, volume, and temperature.
