This course is arranged in the order of subjects: kinetics, thermodynamics, mass and energy balances, fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and unit operations. Although you can choose your own order, but I recommend to use the suggested order. There is no specific reference book that is required for this course, but it is highly recommended that you keep text books of your undergraduate years handy. This act will bring back your fond memories of the subject. You can review the solved problems for kinetics. Then solve them at your own pace. If you have any questions, compile them, and post your questions or add your comments on the page being visited.
I have covered some theoretical back ground and formulas that are frequently used in chemical engineering. A more detailed solution is also given in 'examples' section. Figures and tables are either provided or appropriate reference is cited. A number of modules are presented where one can use his/her own data and get the solution to the formulated case. Then, it is up to the individual to verify that answer. After completing one subject, move to the next. Students, who would like to keep up the pace with the class, can ask their questions before the beginning of the next subject. There are breaks scheduled for 3rd and 7th weeks, so that one can catch up with the unresolved issues or areas of the course. Once the last two subjects are covered, 10th week is left open for questions in any area covered. Let me know if you need any special arrangement.
