12 Synopsis This course will introduce students to the knowledge and expertise in material
balance related to the process industry. It begins with an introduction to engineering
calculations, followed by applying methods used to carry out material balances over a
range of equipment and processes encountered in industry. The course also covers
the concepts of phase systems. In addition, it introduces students to the material
balance calculations with the aid of computer software.
