Rationale and Purpose of the Module:

To provide students with an understanding of transport phenomena and advanced mass transfer concepts and processes, advanced separation processes, particle/fluid interactions, materials handling and containment. Brief introduction to solid characterisation, handling and processing techniques

Syllabus:

Advanced separation processes: absorption and adsorption; liquid-gas and liquid-liquid separation. Simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes: humidification and dehumidification; drying; evaporation and crystallisation; cooling systems and contact economisers. Solids and solids handling: phase separation; sedimentation; centrifugation; fluidisation; filtration and flotation; mixing and agitation

Learning Outcomes:

Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)

1.Understand and compare the theory and operation of a range of separation methods. 2.Employ and deepen the practical knowledge in absorption. 3.Understand and apply the theory of simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes. 4.Classify the major techniques of solids handling, solids separation and containment. 5.Employ the gained practical skills in the design, construction, operation and simulation of simultaneous heat and mass transfer equipment.

Affective (Attitudes and Values)

Challenge the selection of the most suitable separation technique/process

Psychomotor (Physical Skills)

Demonstrate through presentations the ability to chose and design sutable for any case separation unit

How the Module will be Taught and what will be the Learning Experiences of the Students:

There will be a classical lecturing part and an assignment, where students are presenting their knowledge of a chosen process and unit operation from a list.

Research Findings Incorporated in to the Syllabus (If Relevant):

Research will be needed in finding the most suitable literature resouce linking the theory to practical design of the chosen separation process.
