follows: • Basic engineering calculations and computation. Convert quantities from one set of units to another quickly and accurately; define, calculate and estimate properties of process materials including fluid density, flow rate, and chemical composition (mass and mole fractions, concentrations). • Material and energy balance calculations. Draw and label process flow charts from verbal process descriptions; carry out degree-of-freedom analyses; write and solve material and energy balance equations from single-unit and multiple-unit processes, processes with recycle and bypass, and reactive processes. Apply mass and energy balance principles to product life-cycle assessment (LCA). • Introductory Thermodynamics. Perform pressure
