Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to acquire by a student a basic knowledge regarding process engineering rules and the most important unitary operations and processes, especially these which have applications in the field of environmental protection. Furthermore, the goal is to acquire by a student skills of mathematical analysis of the unitary operations and processes which enable predicting the technological and economical properties of the designed processes.

Prerequisites

Passing the courses: Physical Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics.

 

Scope

Lectures: Unitary operations and processes. Selected issues regarding rheology an media flow. The flux permamence equation and the Bernoulli's law. Fluid's pressure losses caused by the internal friction of the fluid and by the local resistance. Pumps. The liquid outflow from a vat. Mono- and polyphase flux through the deposits: flux through the impletion, sedimenation, fluidization, barbotage, filtration. Heat transport. Extraction. Absorption and adsorption.

Exercises: solving the issues and calculative tasks regarding: physicochemical parameters, fluids' flow, solid particulates' dropping, filtration, heat treansport, adsorption, absorption.
