This lecture covers the fundamentals of material balances in chemical engineering, focusing on distillation and mixing processes. Through examples, students learn how to apply mass balance equations to determine flow rates and compositions of streams in steady-state operations. The instructor explains the concept of degree of freedom analysis and guides students on solving mass balance problems for single and multiple-unit systems.
