Entry knowledge

Mathematics - vector algebra, differentials and integrals basis;
Physics - basis of mass point, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics and diffusion basis;
Instumentaions - physics quantities measurement, transmission and processing;
Chemical engineering I.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Graded course-unit credit system. The student evaluation depends on the prescribed measurement attendance, the measured process knowledge, measurement skills and self-activities, the report term and quality elaboration. The student credit is condicioned by the possible reimburse payment. The measurment in the alternate term is possible in the very limited terms.

Partcipation on the prescribed measurements, report elaborations of all measurements in the desiderative quality.

Aims

The Chemical Engineering Unit operations theoretical formula validation on the pilot-plant laboratory equipment.
Student will obtain basic habits and skills in the process of data pick-up, transmission and processing on the pilot plant equipment;

Study aids

Not applicable.
