Registration for the lab exercise:
open in TISS from August 16, 2024 until August 31, 2024. Maximum number of slots available: 45 (15 teams of three, LVA 166.209) for TCH, 18 slots (9 teams of two, LVA 159.808) for VT. Slots will be assigned in the order of registration, there will be a waiting list in case someone drops out of the course before final slot assignment.
Safety briefing, slot assignment and team allocation:
October 3, 2024 – appointments at 08:00/12:00/16:00 (Vortmann lecture room) can be chosen via Termino https://www.termino.gv.at/meet/b/2c386ac4f22426484f55dfabd23c637c-355426. During the meeting, all students need to sign for acknowledgement and compliance with the TU Wien laboratory regulations („Laborordnung“) and the individual regulations for the lab exercise. Participation is mandatory, otherwise students will be de-registered from the lab exercise. PPE (labcoat, safety glasses) is not required during the safety briefing.
Fixed period of time for the lab exercise:
October 7, 2024 – December 20, 2024 with lab days on Mon, Tue, Wed (09:00 – 16:00) for regular practical exercises. Alternative appointments for absences with valid excuse and for repetition of a failed unit operation exercise: January 13, 2025 – January 24, 2025.
Procedure:
In total, 13 (VT)/9 (TCH) unit operation exercises have to be carried out in teams of two (VT)/three (TCH) students (exceptions are possible e.g. in case of odd/even numbers of registered students).
These unit operation exercises include: particle size reduction and particle size analysis, mixing and stirring, filtration, bioreactor, absorption, extraction (VT only), column internals (VT only), membrane technology, distillation, drying (VT only), adsorption (VT only), reaction engineering (two exercises).
Each unit operation exercise consists of: pre-meeting, practical exercise, report and review meeting. Presence of all team partners is mandatory for all parts, except if extraordinary circumstances apply (proof has to be provided on request) – in this case an alternative appointment can be arranged. Physical attendance is required for this lab exercise (exceptions are noted in TUWEL).
Failed pre-meetings have to be repeated, the team has also to arrange for a new appointment for the practical exercise (also if only one team member failed). In case a student fails mor than two pre-meetings, the student will be de-registered from the lab exercise.
It is recommended to do a maximum of two unit operation exercises per week, the pre-meeting should be held in the same week as the practical exercise. Reports need to be submitted two weeks (10 working days, excluding holidays) after completion of the practical exercise. The review meeting is only possible after submission of the report.
The main language for the lab exercise is German, however, some parts can be hold in English.
Sign-up of the teams for the unit operation exercises:
via TUWEL „Verfahrenstechnik I Labor (LU) WS 2024“ – the online course will be made accessible on October 03, 2024 at about 19:00 after the allocation of lab slots. Sign-up for pre-meeting, practical exercise and review meeting are separated and have to be done at least one week before the appointment.
Recommended previous knowledge:
VO/VU Chemical, Thermal and Mechanical Process Engineering, Process measurement technologies (VT only) passed.
Course prerequisites:
VT – none
TCH – passed lab exercise 165.008 „ Physik/Physikalische Chemie LU“ or passed introductory exam (September 30, 2024, 13:00 or October 01, 2024, 17:00, Lecture room BA02B) – confirmation of the prerequisites and/or selection to the exam date via Termino: https://www.termino.gv.at/meet/b/39850de188a9d8602ccdeeff081b9b5c-355406
Grading:
The overall grade for the lab exercise is calculated by averaging the grades for the unit operation exercises („Teilleistungen“). The grades for each of the unit operation exercises are based on the lab pre-meeting (individual evaluation), the report (team evaluation) and the review meeting (individual evaluation) by the unit operation supervisor. In case of unexcused delays of the report submission the final grade of the unit operation exercise will be lowered by one degree, in case the delay is longer than five weeks (excluding holidays) this unit operation exercise will be graded as failed. For a positive grade for the lab exercise, all required unit operation exercises have to be passed. One single failed unit operation exercise can be repeated at the end of the semester at an alternative appointment (January 2025, appointments on agreement). All grade certificates will be issued at the end of the semester.
