CHE 210 (Material Balances)
This is the introductory course in chemical engineering and its focus is in the systematical application of the mass conservation equation to transient and steady state processes. I will post lecture slides after I finish teaching the class this soring (2022).
CHE 220 (Undergraduate Thermo I)
This course covers material typically found in the first course on engineering thermodynamics: first and second law, equations of state and properties of pure fluids, along with applications to power cycles and refrigeration systems.
- Textbook: Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (FCET), published by Pearson. Thermo I covers chapters 1-6.
- Lecture Notes: A set of 43 lectures in PDF format
CHE 320 (Undergraduate Thermo II)
This is the second course on chemical engineering thermodynamics and covers phase and chemical equilibrium.
- Textbook: T. Matsoukas. Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (FCET), published by Pearson. (2012, first edition). Thermo I covers chapters 7-14.
- Lecture Notes: A set of 43 lectures in PDF format
CHE 497 (Probabilistic and stochastic tools for engineers)
This is a course under development, to be offered as a senior elective to chemical engineering students. The goal is to provide working knowledge in an a number of areas of applied probabilities, including Mote Carlo simulations, Markov processes, stochastic modeling, and data science.
CHE 524 (Graduate Statistical Thermodynamics)
CHE 524 is the graduate thermodynamics course in chemical engineering and covers the mathematical calculus of classical and statistical thermodynamics.
- Textbook: T. Matsoukas. Notes on Statistical Thermodynamics (PDF) A standalone textbook that accompanies the course
- Lecture Note Files (PDF) A set of 42 individual lectures based on the course delivered in Fall 2019
