About

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%).
