Industry examples to practice your Chemical Engineering skills. Learn from an experienced Petrochemical Engineer.
What you'll learn
Use mass and mole fractions to describe the concentration of a real-life mixture
Use molarity/ molality/ normality to describe the concentration of real-life mixture
Use parts-per-million (ppm) to describe the concentration of real-life mixture
Create equations to produce a mixture with specific concentrations
Use mass and mole fractions to describe real-life gas mixtures
Calculate the temperature and pressure of gas in a pipeline
Calculate the composition, flowrate and velocity of gas in a pipeline
Complete a mass balance (no reaction) for real-life industrial processes (eg: strawberry jam manufacturing, distillation, filtration and drying)
Requirements
Requires a good understanding of Grade 12 Mathematics and Physical Science
Should be familiar with basic unit conversions (can be learnt in First-Year Calculations (Part 1) by the same instructor)
Description
Hi, I'm Kaamil the Chemical Engineer.
I currently work as a
Process Engineer
in a multinational petrochemicals company. It is one of the largest companies by market cap on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
This course will teach you typical
industry calculations
performed by chemical engineers.
The video lectures will help you perform better in your exams, by enhancing your problem-solving capabilities.
Sections covered include:
1. Concentrations of mixtures
2. Ideal gases
3. Mass balances without reaction
You will learn how to set up systems of equations to solve for multiple unknowns, as is often the case in industry when multiple variables exist. This is one of the most important skills to learn as an engineer, since you will be expected to set up systems to solve problems as part of your daily work.
To benefit from this course, you need to have a good understanding of Grade 12 Mathematics and Physical Science. You also need to have a basic knowledge of unit conversions, which I teach in Part 1 (sold as a separate course).
This course is often taught during your first year, second quarter, at university.
If you are a student at the University of Pretoria, this course is relevant for the second half of the CIR 113 module.
All the best on your journey to becoming a great
Engineer
! Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
Who this course is for:
First year Chemical Engineering students, looking to practice their skills on real-life examples
CIR 113 students at the University of Pretoria
