08_Formulation of Chemical Process Models: Intro to Conservation Equations

Hello. Welcome to the course on Chemical Process Modeling and Simulation. In this channel, you will find a set of video lectures. 07_Formulation of Chemical Process Models: Intro to Conservation Equations In this talk, the different types of constraints - equality & inequality - that mathematically express the relationships between the various (stream, unit and process) variables in a chemical system are introduced. Then, the lecture introduces the different conservation equations, identifies the general template of a conservation equation under non-equilibrium conditions, and defines & lists the various sources and sinks for conserved quantities. Thus, the lecture addresses the questions, "What are conservation equations, constitutive relationships and variable definitions? What quantities are typically conserved in a chemical system (under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions? What is the general template of conservation equations from an Eulerian perspective (for non-equilibrium conditions? What are the sources and sinks of mass, species, momentum and energy?" Please feel free to give your feedback in the comments section below. This is the first time I am uploading such video content for an online course. So, please feel free to comment on how I can improve - technical, pedagogical and infrastructural standpoints. Thanks!
