Learning outcomes
|
This course provides a basic overview of the chemical engineering field. The main aim of course is understanding of processes occurring in the chemical and food industry. This includes the study of material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations processes, kinetics and chemical and biochemical reactors design. This course is built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics and biology.
Students obtain an overview and information about chemical engineering. Students get knowledge about basic unit operations used in the chemical and food industry. The students will be able to understand, formulate, and solve basic engineering problems.
