Mass Energy Balance

Perform material balance, energy balance, and reaction stoichiometry calculations for chemical and petroleum engineering courses. Covers steady-state and transient material balances on single and multiple components, energy balances with heat of reaction, heating and cooling, phase equilibria basics, combustion calculations for natural gas, separator design balances, flash calculations, and reaction extent for refinery and gas processing applications. Use this skill when the user needs to solve mass balance problems, energy balance problems, stoichiometry, combustion air calculations, separator flash calculations, heat duty estimation, or reaction engineering calculations for ChBE 211, ChBE 321, or petroleum processing coursework. Trigger for phrases like "material balance on separator", "energy balance for heater treater", "combustion air for natural gas", "flash calculation", "reaction stoichiometry", "heat of combustion methane", "steady state mass balance", "recycle stream balance", "excess air calculation", or "heat duty for reboiler". Produces step-by-step solutions with labeled equations and Python code.
