Transport Phenomena

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Transport Phenomena
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. Apply dimension analysis as the basis for process scale-up 2. Define and solve mass and energy balances for a chemical production facility or parts thereof 3. To solve elementary (i.e. stationary) heat transfer problems and apply the knowledge to model heat exchangers 4. To solve elementary problems involving liquid flows
Omschrijving	This course provides an introduction into the basic concepts of process and product design such as mass- and energy balances, elementary thermodynamics, chemical reactor design, heat transfer processes and dimension analyses. The concepts will be illustrated by considering a commercial biodiesel plant as an example.
