Duration :  24h Th, 24h Pr
Number of credits :  
Bachelor in bioengineering, 3rd year4
One-year preliminary programme leading to the Master in Bioengineering4
Lecturer :  Frank Delvigne
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
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
