|
Course contents :
|
| Mass transfer :
- definition of binary and ternary mixture laws and diagrams.
- equilibria and plate calculation methods
- simple, co-current and countercurrent contact.
Heat transfer :
- thermal conduction in steady-state conditions
- thermal conduction in non steady-state conditions

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course gives the basic processes of food engineering : heat transfer, mass transfer and mixing processes. Different problems are considered during the practical works.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- to dimension an installation of mass transfer
- to calculate the quantities of heat transferred by convection, conduction
- to determine the scales of heating
- to determine the characteristic data of a bioreactor and its parameters of operation |
