KJTS2100 Introduction to Chemical Engineering Course description

The course provides knowledge of fundamental principles and simple calculations of common unit operations and apparatus in chemical engineering. Topics include fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics with process equipment such as flow meters, valves, pumps and compressors, heat transfer with process equipment such as multi tube and plate heat exchangers, and mass and energy transfer in chemical engineering unit operations.

Grade scale A-F.

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.

The course provides an introduction to the field of electronics. The main focus of the course is the study of the three semiconductor devices; the diode, the bipolar transistor and the MOS transistor. These component and the operational amplifier are used in this course as the means to process signals through amplifiers.
