Chemical engineering processes of sedimentation, pumping, heat transfer, drying, mixing, milling, presure drops in pipe-lines, fluidisation, powder conveying, grain size separation, air cooling, two-phases flow, filtration, cavitation, evaporation kinetics and air flow dynamics in pilot-size apparatus.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

2

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will obtain basic habits and skills in the process of data pick-up, transmission and processing on the pilot plant equipment;

Prerequisites

Mathematics - vector algebra, differentials and integrals basis;
Physics - basis of mass point, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics and diffusion basis;
Instumentaions - physics quantities measurement, transmission and processing;
Chemical engineering I and II.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course uses teaching methods in form of Laboratory exercise - 2 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Graded course-unit credit system. The student evaluation depends on the prescribed measurement attendance, the measured process knowledge, measurement skills and self-activities, the report term and quality elaboration. The student credit is condicioned by the possible reimburse payment. The measurment in the alternate term is possible in the very limited terms.
