Course content
Balance of energy. Momentum balance in flowing fluids. Special cases of flow. Fluid flow though porous bed. Filtration, differential equation of filtration. The basic equations to solve pressure-driven membrane processes. Sedimentation of particles in gravitational and centrifugal fields, wall efect and effect of electrical forces. Fluidization. Liquid mixing. Heat transfer operations. Unsteady state heat conduction. Heat transfer in fluids, calculation of the heat transfer coefficient. The design of heat exchangers with complex flow. Evaporators, mass and enthalpy balance of single and multiple effects. Mass transfer. Mass transfer in gases and liquids. Mass transfer in binary and ternary systems. Calculation of the basic dimensions of packed absorbers. Batch distillation of binary mixtures. Continuous distillation - Ponchon-Savarit method. Continuous extraction, a grahical solution in a ternary diagram. Moist air.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to create a concept about complex methods to solve physical processes, which can be encountered in equipment for chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. Passing the course is the necessary condition to study "Diffusion processes" and "Fluid flow and heat transfer".
After this course, the student is able to orient in complex methods to solve the selected unit operations. Beside, he is qualified to make decision on the conditions leading to simplified solutions.
Prerequisites
Mathematics I, Physics I, Basic physical chemistry, Chemical engineering I

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

There is an 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 a test during the semestr and its result is included into the total classification.
