Course group - TB3-PRD
This Toolbox proposes courses on the basic disciplines of Process Engineering aimed at initiating students in the application of transformation processes of materials and energy.
The course is characterised by the diversity of industrial sectors concerned, from energy (hydrogen sector, storage), to health (pharmaceutics), chemical engineering, the environment, materials (corrosion), the food processing industry …
Material transformation processes involve actual transformation operations which are carried out in chemical reactors and unit operations. These are most frequently used to achieve the separation of constituents for purification, enhancement, recycling or rejection.
The course on transfers, essentially focused on heat and materials transfer phenomena, provides the theoretical bases essential for the study, modelling and dimensioning of reactors and separation operations.
These basics are completed by a unit entitled “Reactivity of heterogeneous systems and modelling of reactor sizing” which provides specific tools for modelling transformations of solids necessary for the dimensioning of heterogeneous reactors involving this type of transformation.
The course on reactors and unit operations presents modelling and dimensioning methods for these operations.
