ECH 1Y Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Total Dissolved Solids, Taste Bud, Specialty Coffee
Document Summary
Chemical engineers concern themselves w/ the chemical & transport processes that turn green coffee beans into coffee products (roasted beans, brewed coffee, etc. ) Skills - design, testing, scale - up, operation, control, & optimization. Understanding - unit operations (chemical rxs & heat/mass transfer ) Utilizes engineering skills & science knowledge to analyze & improve these. Transport phenomena - transport of heat, fluids, & mass. Mass ( water & coffee extraction ) Thermodynamics - heat & its relation to energy & work. Goal of class = intended to serve as a non - mathematical intro to how engineers approach & solve problems, as elucidated by the process of roasting & brewing coffee. = amount of stuff per unit area per unit time. Measures how fast the molecules move. it depends on: Solubility = measures the ease with which a solid solute will dissolve into a liquid. You will have a uniform phase at the end.
