Industrial Physical Chemistry
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
Introduction to transport phenomena with their applications (e.g. in heterogeneous catalysis and in sizing of chemical plants). Principles for sizing of chemical plants. Fluid dynamics.
Expected learning outcomes
The student should be able to perform quantitative calculations (mass, heat and force balances) applied to fluid motion. He/she should quantify energy dissipation during fluid motion and size the equipment to supply energy to fluids. The student gets competences to quantify heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation) with sizing of the relative equipment. The student should quantify mass transfer problems, which limit the rate of chemical transformations, finding appropriate solutions.
