Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course is expected to develop or improve mastery of the following topics: comprehension and application of fluid-moving machinery, industrial mixing of fluids, industrial crystallization processes and equipment, solids drying and mechanical separations operations and equipment. He will be able to apply chemical engineering principles to the design of process equipment and chemical plant in relation to the course contents. He/she will be able to prepare process design documents, i.e. PFDs, preliminary P&IDs diagrams and process data sheets.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge and understanding of the course material, ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. - The student will present a written report on a number of project works on topics of the course. - In the written exam (3 hours), the student must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material, ability to put into practice, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated, and ability to solve engineering problems.
