Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to make students acquainted with simulation and optimization calculations of complex chemical, food and pharmaceutical technologies.
After this course, the student is able to solve complex processes of chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries at steady and unsteady states. Moreover, he is able to find such parameters of the processes, at which an optimum exists.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination, Written examination
Oral examination. The primary form is a debate about selected themes. The level of acquired knowledge, conceptions and application acquirements is examined. Knowledge is examined by solving a project during the semestr and its result is included into the total classification.
