Analysing Physical Processes

The aim of the course is the introduction to the analysis and design of basic physical processes. Modules include introduction, fundamentals of process analysis and design, analysis and design of experiments, and fluid flow mechanics. Concepts such as thermal processes with simultaneous mass transfer, particle mechanics (filtration, centrifugation, sedimentation, cyclones, filters, crystallization, fracture, agglomeration), will be analyzed and explained to the program participants. This course is obligatory for students of the master’s programme. The course provides knowledge of the core tools used in the area of Circular Economy, their philosophy and their position in the field. Students are trained in the applicability of these tools by working on case studies with the aid of specific software-tools.
