Accepted Answer

Chemical engineering formulae and their interpretation

Stoichiometry: Balancing chemical equations to determine reactant and product quantities
Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas
Heat Transfer: Q = mCΔT, calculates heat transfer between a substance and its surroundings
Mass Transfer: Fick's Law, describes the diffusion of a substance through a medium
Reaction Kinetics: Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n, determines the rate of a chemical reaction
Thermodynamics: Gibbs Free Energy, determines the spontaneity of a chemical reaction
Process Control: PID Control, regulates process variables to maintain desired conditions
