Learning outcomes
|
To acquaint the student with chemical engineering operations, from the treatment of raw materials, through dispersion and mixing, flow of liquids and suspensions, through separation techniques for intermediates and products (filtration, settling). Within the scope of the subject, the acquired knowledge will be extended by physico-chemical aspects in the given devices, methods of design of these devices and optimization of their operation from an engineering point of view.
Students are able to accurately identify the essence of individual operations, analyze and synthesize whole process systems in engineering terms, and are familiar with methods that enable effective transfer and interpretation of laboratory test results into industrial practice.
