Usage of METU online (http://online.metu.edu.tr)
Check METU e-mail accounts for announcements

OTHERS Extra problem solving sessions may be scheduled.

Usage of solution manuals for homework assignments
only inhibits your progress – we will not police it.
Plagiarism or cheating is not tolerated.
No signing the attendance roster for your friends.
 COURSE OBJECTIVES

Before the completion of this course, each student is expected to be able to

1. Define and describe the process stream variables such as flow rate, composition,
pressure and temperature.
2. Convert stream variables from one unit to another accurately.
3. Draw and label process flow diagrams from process descriptions, analyze the
problems by identifying systems and process units by applying degree of
freedom analysis.
4. Select appropriate reference state and basis.
5. Application of conservation of mass and energy around physical and chemical
process units.
6. Analyze the physical state of process streams; apply conservation of mass and
energy with complementary equation of state for multiphase systems.
Exam questions will be based on these concepts and are designed to test your
status/progress on each item. Keep these 6 bullets in mind throughout the course.
