Course content
- Basic chapters from kinetics of chemical reactions (reaction classification; the definition of reaction speed; kinetic equations; Arrhenius equation). - Simultaneous reactions (simple solution of subsequent and side reactions; rate determination of determining step). - Transport Processes (Basic equation of heat transfer, Basic equations of mass-sharing). - Equipment operating on the principle of transport processes (heat exchangers, mass - distilling, rectifying, adsorption, extraction column). - Separation Processes (Sedimentation, Filtration, Centrifuging, Fluid processes). - Kinetics of anaerobic and aerobic processes (basic equation of enzyme kinetics for homogeneous and heterogeneous systems; Catalytic activity of enzymes, effect of transport phenomena in enzyme kinetics). - Basic formulas for calculation of bioreactors (aerobic and anaerobic fermenting tubs, mixing effect, influence of transport processes). - Examples of usage for food engineering (malting, brewing, sugar industry, fermentation technology)
