Course Contents
[b]Fundamentals and micro-processes:[/b] description of particle systems with population balances and by the discrete-element-method; motion of particles and particles in fluids; turbulent particle transport; description of separation processes; separation functions, separation models for complex mixtures.
[b]Fundamentals of process design[/b]
Design and dimensioning of processes consisting of single and multi-step separation processes (including feedback designs).
