FSI-KBPAcad. year: 2023/2024
The subject introduces to students the issue of balancing in process and energy systems. Students will learn to apply balance equation of the mass and energy conservation laws to a wide array of processes:• Steady state processes• Single component and multicomponent processes• Processes with chemical reactions• Transient processesTo solve the balances, the subject will provide compotational approaches and methods and student will practice on a number of practical examples. Emphasis will be put on the computer implementation of procedures in a widely available software MS Excel. The hot topics as energy security and energy production from renewable sources are addressed in the lectures.
