Learning unit contents
The course of Cooling and drying aims to provide required basis for (*):
- the understanding of mechanism involved in dehydration, sorption and coolingn pnenomena in biological material,
- for the control of processes that use these phenomena in order to increase the conservability or to provide new functional properties to these bio-materials
(*) this learning unit contents could be modified by the co-holder of this course
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims to introduce student to :
- phenomena involved in sorption, dehydration and drying of hygroscopic materials
- mechanisms and components involved in the production and remediation of cooled and dried fluid such as humid and dry air
- mechanism of cooling, sorption and drying of biological materials
It also aims to develop :
- students' skills inmonitoring of drying, sorptional and cooling processes of biological materials
- analytical skill's of drying, sorptional and cooling technics carried out for biological material preservation and for the development of their transformation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Bachelor level course on thermodynamics, mathematics and physics.
