Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the doctoral study course Conveying Machines and Equipment is to deepen theoretical and practical information from areas related to the topic of dissertation with regard to transport equipment and process equipment. Students will obtain deep information about: - transport equipment - conveyors (belt, chain, rope and special) - process equipment (disintegrators - grinding, crushing, drying equipment, equipment for changing the properties of particulate matter). Students will acquire the following skills: - will be able to mathematically describe the operation and behavior of the selected transport and process equipment, - will be able to define critical points, including limit values, - can predict how traffic and process equipment will change with changing conditions. Students will be competent to: - publishing original research papers on transport and process equipment - design, capacity and strength calculations of existing and emerging transport and process equipment.

Additional study materials

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

1. Student elaborates a seminar paper from the field of transport and process equipment. 2. Student prepares a search using scientific and patent databases (WoS, EPO, UPV) to find information about the state of knowledge for a particular transport or process facility with regard to the topic of the dissertation. 3. The seminar work and research must be defended by the student during the exam.
