What you'll learn

  • Use mass and mole fractions to describe the concentration of a real-life mixture
  • Use molarity/ molality/ normality to describe the concentration of real-life mixture
  • Use parts-per-million (ppm) to describe the concentration of real-life mixture
  • Create equations to produce a mixture with specific concentrations
  • Use mass and mole fractions to describe real-life gas mixtures
  • Calculate the temperature and pressure of gas in a pipeline
  • Calculate the composition, flowrate and velocity of gas in a pipeline
  • Complete a mass balance (no reaction) for real-life industrial processes (eg: strawberry jam manufacturing, distillation, filtration and drying)

    Good day


    Thank you for purchasing this course! We have an exciting journey ahead of us.


    This course is divided into three sections:

    1. Process variables: Concentration

    2. Ideal gases

    3. Mass balances without reaction


    Each section is taught using real-life examples from industry. This helps you perform better in exams and makes you a better chemical engineer.


    I've attached a notebook with all my handwritten notes from the course. This should make it easier to reference, so you don't have to sit through the videos when looking for specific information.



Requirements

  • Requires a good understanding of Grade 12 Mathematics and Physical Science
  • Should be familiar with basic unit conversions (can be learnt in First-Year Calculations (Part 1) by the same instructor)

Description

  • Hi, I'm Kaamil the Chemical Engineer.

    I currently work as a Process Engineer in a multinational petrochemicals company. It is one of the largest companies by market cap on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.


  • This course will teach you typical industry calculations performed by chemical engineers.
    The video lectures will help you perform better in your exams, by enhancing your problem-solving capabilities.


  • Sections covered include:

    1.  Concentrations of mixtures
    2. Ideal gases
    3. Mass balances without reaction


  • You will learn how to set up systems of equations to solve for multiple unknowns, as is often the case in industry when multiple variables exist. This is one of the most important skills to learn as an engineer, since you will be expected to set up systems to solve problems as part of your daily work.


  • To benefit from this course, you need to have a good understanding of Grade 12 Mathematics and Physical Science. You also need to have a basic knowledge of unit conversions, which I teach in Part 1 (sold as a separate course).


  • This course is often taught during your first year, second quarter, at university.
    If you are a student at the University of Pretoria, this course is relevant for the second half of the CIR 113 module.


  • All the best on your journey to becoming a great Engineer! Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Who this course is for:

  • First year Chemical Engineering students, looking to practice their skills on real-life examples
  • CIR 113 students at the University of Pretoria
