Course content
- Basic concepts of process engineering. - Balance based on mass and number of moles. - Heat balance of technological processes. - Flow of the fluid. - Bernoulli's equation of the real fluid. - Flow of the fluid through pipe. - Similarity of systems and processes. - Mechanisms of heat transfer. - Fourier's law of the heat transfer by conduction. - Thermal conductivity of the materials. - Heat transfer, heat-transfer coefficient. - Heat transfer without phase change. - Heat transfer during condensation and boiling. - Heat transmission: heat transfer from the fluid A to the wall, then conduction though the thickness of the wall and finally the heat transfer from the wall to fluid B.
