Fundamentals of Engineering

The two main principles involved in establishing conditions for performing a reaction are chemical kinetics and thermodynamics. Chemical kinetics is the study of rate and mechanism by which one chemical species is converted to another. The rate is the mass in moles of a product produced or reactant consumed per unit time. The mechanism is the sequence of individual chemical reaction whose overall result yields the observed reaction. Thermodynamics is a fundamental of engineering having many applications to chemical reactor design.

To prepare students for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (that is becoming more important for the outcome-based ABET 2000 criteria) and to facilitate multiple-choice tests, about 250 multiple-choice problems are included in the end-of-chapter problem sets. They are placed under the title Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Problems for easy recognition. These problems are intended to check the understanding of fundamentals and to help readers avoid common pitfalls.

Too often, worthwhile energy projects are killed by the one-year payback syndrome. In addition to being too strict, the one-year payback concept ignores the time value of money, a fundamental of engineering economy. In many energy and environmental projects, the payback is nowhere close to a one-year rmdiscotmted payback.
