Course content
Topology of the process. Graph theory. Steward decomposition. Balance calculations with precise data. Real and fictive streams, their parameters. Physical meaning of parameters of fictive streams. Balance calculations with measured data. Data reconciliation, one component streams, multicomponent streams - Lagrange multiplier method. Reduction of balance scheme. Identification of gross errors. Fundamentals of mathematical modelling of processes. Statistical and physical models.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to create a complex concept on balace calculations in chemical industry, where physical and chemical processes can be encountered.
After this course, the student is able to solve complex balance problems, where precise and also measured data exist. Moreover, he is able to reconcile the data measured and identify gross errors in the balance calculations using measured data.
Prerequisites
Chemical engineering I, Chemical engineering II

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral 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.
