A python package to facilitate teaching of chemical engineering

pyChemEngg

This is a python package to facilitate teaching of chemical engineering. The package is still in development stage. When complete, there will be support for different topics such as:

• Material Balances
• Heat Transfer
• Fluid Flow
• Thermodynamics
• Chemical Reaction Engineering
• Process Control

Philosophy

The pyChemEngg package has the following philosophy:

• The package should facilitate student learning. The package should not become a black box such that it hides the underlying fundamentals of chemical engineering. Instead the package should reinforce chemical engineering principles, stimulate students to think, promote curiosity, and make learning fun.

Current status

• The package for material balances for physical processes (no chemical reaction) is complete.
• Currently the package for heat transfer is ~70% complete.

General Information

• Chemical engineers are now expected to possess programming skills, and python is an attractive language popular in scientific and technical computing.
• The pyChemEngg package will provide integrated learning experience and will exposes chemical engineering students to the python programming language throughout their degree program.

Installation

• At the moment the package is empty and should not be installed.
