CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
VOCABULARY QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS|100%
CORRECT|GRADE A+
Batch process - ANSWER A process that takes a fixed amount of raw materials and transforms them as a
unit from start to finish. (Ex:baking cookies)
Continuous flow process - ANSWER A process with takes a steady stream of raw materials, processing
them as they "flow" through the system. It can be thought of a process where the batch size is one and
the materials are constantly in motion through the system. (Ex: Auto assembly line)
Flow Diagram - ANSWER A graphic representation of a process showing inputs, outputs, and processes.
Raw material - ANSWER The inputs of a chemical process
Finished product - ANSWER The primary or desired product of a chemical process
Waste - ANSWER Outputs of a chemical process that can be discarded
Bi-product - ANSWER A secondary output of a chemical process in which a use has been determined
Recycle stream - ANSWER Outputs of a chemical process that are fed back into the process and reused.
Heating - ANSWER Input of energy in the form of heat
Cooling - ANSWER Removing heat from a chemical process
Mechanical - ANSWER Crushing, shaping, moving, pumping
