 |
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 - convection Mixing processes : - homogeneous reactors - static mixers. |
 |
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 |
