After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• reproduce the descriptive equations for simple problems of mass- and heat- exchange
• explain the laws of similitude and in connection with it reproduce some dimensionless numbers and their areas of application
• describe and compare different thermal separation processes (rectification, distillation, adsorption, absorption, extraction ...) both qualitatively and in terms of descriptive equations, contrasting their advantages and disadvantages and thereby finding the optimal one for a given separation task
• describe the application areas for columns in thermal process engineering
• assess column internals according to various criteria (effectiveness of separation, possible operating modes, pressure loss, design, ...) and select column internals appropriate to the application
• name simple application examples and frequently used apparatus in industrial thermal process engineering

Basic relationships for heat and mass transfer and the principles of heat exchangers, evaporators, distillation/rectification, absorption, adsorption, extraction, drying, membrane processes and crystallisation will be discussed

Explanations and derivation for basic principles and equations for different thermal unit operations and enhancement of knowledge based on calculation examples

Written Exam

Die Vorlesung Thermische Verfahrenstechnik wird im Wintersemester 2020 on-line über Zoom jeweils am Mittwoch von 8.30-10.00 Uhr abgehalten. Beginn ist am 7.10. um 8.30.

Den Zoom-Link werde ich über TISS vor dem 7.10. zur Verfügung stellen.

Über TISS werden auch Skriptum, Folien und Prüfungsfragen zur Verfügung gestellt.

Die Vorlesung ist am Buch Sattler K.-Thermische Trennverfahren, Vogel Verlag - orientiert. In der Bibliothek sind eine größere Anzahl an Büchern verfügbar
