About the course
Course content
The course is given in the spring term every year. Description of the pertinent transport processes for mass-, heat- and momentum with focus on modelling of flow phenomena. The coupling between kinetics, mass- and heat transfer processes, and flow phenomena within single phase stirred tank-, fluidized bed-, gas/liquid- and slurry reactors will bli discussed. If there are few students, the examn will be oral
Learning outcome
Students will achieve a basic understanding of the pertinent transport processes for mass-, heat- and momentum with emphasis on the modelling of flow phenomena, to make the students able to develop more fundamental and physically realistic models for different types of single- and multiphase reactors.
Learning methods and activities
Colloquium in agreement with the student. Expected workload per week is 1 student presentation (2-3 hours) and 20 hours of independent studying. The total workload in the subject is about 320 hours distributed on colloquium (10%) and independent studies (90%).
Recommended previous knowledge
The subject requires the background theory given in TKP4160 Transport Processes and TKP4145 Reactor technology or corresponding courses. The students will benefit from elementary knowledge on of numerical methods and programming.
