RNEW 1100 Process Dynamics
Description
Process Dynamics introduces concepts which deal with physical forces and their relationship to energy through temperature and pressure and are frequently encountered in an operation plant environment. An explanation and understanding of a plant system is crucial to this course. The scientific principles of flow, temperature, pressure heat, gasses, liquids, solids, fluid systems, process dynamics and heat transfer are covered in detail. The curriculum of this course encompasses basic physics and science.
