Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The course is designed primarily for students who did not pass it within the master study.
Newcomers in process engineering get up with basics of chemical engineering methods, fill up their knowledge of typical computational procedures and familiarize with the issues of industrialized apparatus for separation processes.
Advanced students will improve their knowledge of the physical-chemistry, phase equilibrium for both a simple and non-ideal systems. Become familiar with the nature of multiphase processes and with the transport processes at the interface.

Summary
The course demonstrates how industrial and natural processes can be quantitatively described and how these insights can be applied to design unit operation equipment. It builds on qualitative knowledge of inorganic and organic technology, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer. A solid understanding of physics, physical chemistry, and mathematics is essential. The course deepens knowledge of material and energy balances in technological processes and the application of transport phenomena in engineering modeling. The three main categories of processes covered are hydrodynamic processes (pumping, filtration, sedimentation, fluidization, mixing), heat transfer (heat exchangers, heat losses, boiling, condensation), and mass transfer (equilibrium systems and the dynamics of crystallization, absorption, distillation, drying, adsorption). The course also covers topics related to chemical reactors, including multiphase reactors.
