19CH303-CHEMICAL PROCESS CALCULATIONS

OBJECTIVES

 To acquire knowledge on laws of chemistry


and its application to solution of mass and
energy balance equations for single and
network of units and introduce to process
simulators.

 Fundamental Concepts: Basic and derived
units, use of different system of units in
process calculations.
 Methods of expression- compositions of
mixtures and solutions. Ideal and real gas law:
Calculations of pressure, volume and
temperature using Ideal and Van der Waals
equation.

volume in gas mixture calculations – Raoult‘s
law and Henry‘s law.

Humidity chart, dew point


UNIT IV ENERGY BALANCE
 Heat capacity of solids, liquids, gases and solutions.
Use of mean heat capacity in heat calculations,
problems involving sensible heat and latent heats,
evaluation of enthalpy.
Standard heat of reaction, heats of formation,
combustion, solution, mixing etc.,
Calculation of standard heat of reaction
Effect of pressure and temperature on heat of
reaction – Energy balance for systems with and
without chemical reaction
Unsteady state energy balance.
UNIT V COMBUSTION
 Determination of Composition by Orsat
analysis of products of combustion of solid,
liquid and gas fuels .

 Calculation of excess air from orsat


technique, problems on sulphur and sulphur
burning compounds .

 Application of Process simulators in energy


and material balance problems.
