Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Recognize the concepts of open and closed system and the system of permanent and non-permanent status.
• Compile the main elements of writing and solving mass balances, in a process without chemical reaction, as well as in a single or multiple chemical process.
• Carry out the analysis of degrees of freedom and recognizes the restrictive reactors and the reactors in excess.
• Formulate elementary mass balances and a group of mass balances for processes involving more than one process unit.
• Apply mass balances in case of combustion and to determine the extent of chemical reaction as well as in processes including recycling streams, bypass streams and cleaning streams (removal of materials).
• Use the concepts of total conversion and conversion in one pass to chemical reactors with recycling.
• Recognize under what conditions the law of ideal gases applies and when the relations of real gases are used.
• Solve mass balances that include ideal or real gases.
• Distinguish the correlation between the equilibrium of multiphase mixtures and separation technology.
• Interpret phase diagrams and psychrometric diagrams, as well as understands the phase rule.
• Determine the vapor pressure of a component, its degree of evaporation / condensation and describes the vapor-liquid equilibrium of a binary system.
• Define each term in the general energy balance and applies it to open and closed systems, as well as to permanent and non-permanent systems.
• Calculate the standard formation heat, combustion heat and reaction heat for a variety of reactions.
• Solve mass and energy balance problems involving chemical reactions.

• Review, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
• Work in interdisciplinary environment
• Environmental protection
