Chemical Engineering I: Course Description

Professor Barry Johnston taught this 'Chemical Engineering I' class for MIT's Chemical Engineering Department. It was created for undergraduates pursuing B.S. (Bachelor of Science) in Chemical and Chemical-Biological Engineering degrees. 'Chemical Engineering I' introduces the fundamentals of batch process design and process simulators. It also emphasizes mathematical models' limitations for predicting the actual performance of process equipment. Specific topics covered in 'Chemical Engineering I' include the batch operations scheduling, reaction kinetics, batch distillation and safety analysis. When it was originally taught at MIT, 'Chemical Engineering I' used a lecture format.

'Chemical Engineering I' OpenCourseWare makes a reading list, assignments and project instructions available to Internet users. To learn more about this free process design course from MIT, check out the chemical engineering course page.
