Course content
1. Basic Concepts of Process Engineering. Similarity of systems and processes. Heat transfer by conduction, convection, determination of the heat transfer coefficient, dimensionless criteria. 2. Combined heat transfer by conduction and convection - heat transmission. 3. Heat exchangers. Types of exchangers, the heat transfer coefficient of the exchanger, enthalpic balance of the exchanger. 4. Heat transfer by radiation. Radiation intensity, reflectivity, absorptivity, transmissivity, black body, white body, gray body, emissivity, Stefan-Boltzmann law. 5. Methods for solving unsteady heat conduction problems in solids. Fourier's heat conduction equation. Technical significance. 6. Heating and cooling of agitated tanks by heat transmission from a flowing fluid outside the tank. 7. Separation methods - Sedimentation: forces acting on a settling particle. Settling velocity. 8. Separation methods - Filtration of suspensions. Wet and dry filtration. Filter cake, filtrate. Filtration equipment. Cake filtration. Driving force of filtration. Washing of the filter cake. 9. Mass transfer - Diffusion - Fick's 1st and 2nd laws. Definition of concentrations, velocities, and mass flux densities. Diffusivity. Convective diffusion - analogy with heat transfer. 10. Diffusion in metals, technical significance, systems, phases, mechanisms of diffusion in metals, theory of diffusion in metals. 11. Thermodynamics of real gases and vapors. Properties of water vapor. Technical diagrams. 12. Properties of moist air, enthalpy diagram of moist air. 13. Drying. Determination of the moisture content of the dried material. Drying curve and drying rate curve. Critical point. Significance for the drying process. 14. Material and energy balance of ideal convection dryers without recycle (and with an included recycle) of the drying air.
