Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Identify correctly the number of degrees of freedom of industrial chemical processes ; write and solve mass and energy balances (without and with chemical reactions) ; assess transport phenomena in a single phase or between phases (mass, energy and momentum) ; handle easily units of measurement ; calculate the main physical and chemical properties (enthalpy, viscosity, diffusivity, density, ...).
Understand and explain the main conception and operating principles of essential separation unit operations: distillation, absorption, liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption and membrane systems - apply adequately equilibrium laws, mass and energy balances (for continuous or batch operations), transfer kinetics and hydrodynamics - use numerical tools and softwares relative to these unit operations
