This lecture introduces the fundamental principles of macroscopic material and energy balances, which are essential tools in chemical and process engineering. It focuses on the laws of conservation of mass and energy and their application to batch, continuous, and semi-batch processes under steady-state and unsteady-state conditions. Through systematic balance equations, degree of freedom analysis, and illustrative examples involving physical and reactive systems, students develop the ability to analyze process units, predict flow rates and compositions, and evaluate process performance in industrial applications.
