Chemical Engineering: An Introduction By M. M. Denn

A staple of the undergraduate chemical engineering
curriculum is the introductory course,
usually taught in the first term of the sophomore
year, and often referred to as ‘‘mass and
energy balances’’, ‘‘chemical process principles’’,
or just ‘‘introduction to chemical engineering.’’
Over the years, a number of textbooks
have been available for this course; at
present, the most widely used text is Felder and
Rousseau, Elementary Principles of Chemical
Processes. Another noteworthy text is Murphy,
Introduction to Chemical Processes. The basic
elements of most courses include fundamentals
of material balances, including process flow
sheets, single and multiphase systems, energy
balances on closed and open systems, and balances
on nonreactive and reactive processes.
Details of the chemical reactor and of particular
separation processes await the traditional subsequent
courses. The nature of the introductory
course depends in many respects on the extent
to which it bears a portion of the thermodynamics
instruction. Felder and Rousseau covers a
good deal of thermodynamics, and, therefore,
fits well with a subsequent one-term thermodynamics
course.
