Course content

2 sections • 68 lectures • 6h 17m total length

  • Introduction1:31

    Explore how the introduction to chemical engineering blends chemistry, calculus, physics, and economics to solve real-world problems, from food processing to fertilizers, in an accessible course.

  • Unit Convention4:34
  • Units10:28
  • Gravitational Constant3:16
  • Dimensional Constant3:36
  • Moles7:12
  • Average Mole Mass2:25

    Calculate the average molecular mass of a gas mixture in a cylinder using mole fractions of components A and B, summing each component's mole fraction times its molecular mass.

  • Density3:15
  • Density Additional Example3:15
  • Concentration3:21
  • Temperature8:59
  • Temperature Additional Example2:21
  • Pressure10:41

    Analyze how gauge pressure and absolute pressure arise from liquid height, density, and gravity, including atmospheric references and vacuum scenarios.

  • Pressure Additional Example9:27
  • Gram Equivalent4:00
  • Buoyancy2:14

    Explore buoyancy through a wood block example, showing how objects displace a mass of water equal to their weight, and how density—when a block is less dense than water—affects displacement.

  • Buoyancy Additional Example6:14
  • Empirical5:33
  • Empirical Additional Example (A)9:48
  • Empirical Additional Example (B)6:07

    Multiply the given value by conversion factors to convert units, handling exponents, and derive the empirical formula A = 0.4703 * X / Y^2 in SI units.

  • Flow Rate5:01
  • Material Balances9:14
  • Material Balances Additional Example14:45
  • Interpolation and Extrapolation5:00
  • Chemical Reactions8:14
  • Chemical Reactions Additional Example6:08
  • Conversion5:15
  • Gasses and SG10:01

    Use the ideal gas law PV=nRT to calculate moles, apply mass balances, and relate gas densities via specific gravity to a reference gas like air, using partial pressures.

  • Gasses and SG Additional Example5:48
  • Recycle Purge Bypass8:11
  • Recycle Purge Bypass Additional Example (A)8:35
  • Recycle Purge Bypass Additional Example (B)6:38
  • Recycle Purge Bypass Additional Example (C)3:49
  • Coal4:51
  • Coal Example13:03
  • Combustion2:49
  • Combustion Additional Example6:08

    We burn a carbon compound with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, balance the equation, and compute the required oxygen with 40 percent excess from given flow rates.

  • Orstat4:30

Requirements

  • A basic understanding of algebra.
  • A passion to learn chemical engineering!

Description

Chemical Engineering Calculations Made Easy!

This course includes video and text explanations of the fundamentals in chemical engineering, and it includes more than 40 worked through examples with easy-to-understand explanations. 'Introduction to Chemical Engineering' is organized into two main sections:

  1. Chemical engineering 
  2. Calculus 

And here’s what you get inside of every lesson:

Videos: Watch over my shoulder as I solve chemical engineering problems from start to finish.  We start from the beginning... First I teach the theory. Then I do an example problem. I explain the problem, the steps I take and why I take them, how to work through the yucky, fuzzy middle parts, and how to simplify the answer when you get it.

Notes: The notes section of each theory lesson is where you find the most important things to remember. The notes include tips and tricks on how to study as well as how to save time in tests and exams. Ultimately, I cover everything you need to know to pass your class and nothing you don’t.

One-On-One Assistance: You can ask me for chemical engineering help in the Q&A section any day, any time, whether it's related to the video content or another problem you're struggling with at home. Either way, I'm here to help you pass and do the best you possibly can!

Who this course is for:

  • First year engineering students.
  • University, college or school students taking a chemical engineering course
  • Anyone interested in gaining mastery of the core concepts of chemical engineering.
