5 Chemical Engineering

Phase Relations

This open textbook provides an overview of the central role that phase behavior plays in the petroleum extraction processes. Readers should be able to describe, in concrete terms, how knowledge of fluid phase behaviour impacts specific aspects of the process design and/or operations.

Includes: Diagrams, and problem sets.

May suit: CHEMENG 3D04 and MATLS 2A04.

Intermediate Fluid Mechanics

This book is meant to be a second course in fluid mechanics that stresses applications dealing with external potential flows and intermediate viscous flows. Students are expected to have some background in some of the fundamental concepts of the definition of a fluid, hydrostatics, use of control volume conservation principles, initial exposure to the Navier-Stokes equations, and some elements of flow kinematics, such as streamlines and vorticity. It is not meant to be an in-depth study of potential flow or viscous flow, but is meant to expose students to additional analysis techniques for both of these categories of flows. This compilation is drafted from notes used in the course Intermediate Fluid Mechanics, offered to seniors and first year graduate students who have a background in mechanical engineering or a closely related area.

May suit: CHEMENG 2O04, CIVENG 2O04, AUTOTECH 3TS3 and MECHENG 3O04.

Inorganic Chemistry for Chemical Engineers

The main objective of this book is to introduce students to the basic principles of inorganic chemistry and link them with current applications relevant to a chemical engineer.

Includes: Activities (with answers), summaries, and end of chapter exercises (with answers).

May suit: CHEM 1E03.
