Formulating Material Balance Equations Steady-State and Continuous Operation

As you will discover in your development and education as an engineer, and later on as a professional, material balance is vital for process engineering. Material balance has broad applications that are even beyond the fields of process and bioprocess engineering (e.g., economics). [Pg.145]

Several applications in chemical and bioprocess engineering work in such a way that the system is designed no to gain or be depleted of materials (or molecules or electrical carriers). This is known as a system operating in steady-state condition. In that case, the material balance changes to one of considering what is required to enter the system (after the generation or transfer of materials) to obtain a desired outflow. [Pg.145]

In processes consisting of several units (e.g., chemical reactors, equipment for mixing/purification, autoclaves, fermenters) the analysis gets more complex, but the material balance is still a must and, as we will explain later, conducted on each unit, thus enabling the following steps in the design and specification of equipment. [Pg.145]

Usually the material balance is the first step in process design and engineering projects. It is present in the day-to-day monitoring and supervision of chemical and bioprocessing plants. It is by far [Pg.145]
