Why Material Balance Is Relevant for Chemical and Bioprocess Engineers

5 Why Material Balance Is Relevant for Chemical and Bioprocess Engineers 

Material balance takes an exact account of aU materials entering, leaving, accumulating, or being depleted in a given process unit for a specific time interval. The practical use of material balance lies in the fact that in reality it is very difficult for a process engineer to make direct measurements of all the masses of each process stream.
