Learning Outcomes of UE

1. To understand the basic principles of the chemistry and the physics applied in the industry. 2. To allow students to understand technical discussions and polemics between engineers on optimisation of certain industrial processes and their impact on the environment. To be able to solve problem sets based on a number of basic laws and concepts in physics, chemistry and biology.

Content of UE

1. Bases of the inorganic and organic chemistry and the basic principles of the physics applied for the manufacturing of the steel, the non-ferrous metals, the paper, the glass, the polymers, etc., for the electricity production, etc. 2. Fundamental concepts in physics: pressure, work, energy, enthalpy, first and second law of thermodynamics, transfers of energy, insulation, Boltzmann's law, frequency, wavelength and energy of electromagnetic waves. Fundamental concepts of chemistry: stoichiometry, enthalpy of reactions, photochemical reactions, chemical equilibria, acid-base reactions, solubility product, Henry's law. Dynamic modelling of chemical reactions and physical processes: steady state conservative systems, perfectly mixed reactors, flow plug reactors (differential equations of zero, first and second order). Application of chemical and physical concepts to major environmental problems: climate warming, ocean acidification, biological oxygen demand, phosphor and nitrogen cycles, etc.
