Cooper Union

Material and Energy Balances

Introduction to the principles and techniques used in chemical engineering. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry are applied to solving problems involving the laws of conservation of mass and energy. Includes analysis of real chemical processes, methods for estimation of the thermodynamic and chemical properties of fluids, solution of real systems of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, chemical and vapor/liquid equilibrium, energy balances on reacting systems with heat and work, and unsteady-state balances on reacting systems.

Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.
“My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”
From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.
Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
