Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

To succeed in this course, students will need to apply acquired knowledge from e.g. physics, physical chemistry and mathematics.

Inhalt:

This module provides students with an overview of the following key concepts and practical aspects of the fields of interfacial engineering and particle technology:

• Molecular interactions: Adsorption and adhesion

• Particle nucleation and growth

• Particle stabilization

• Particle size and shape.

• Particles in motion

• Particle size distributions

• Unit operations: separations, mixing, comminution

• Packed and fluidized beds
  

The associated exercises and homework cover all topics and allow students to develop their understanding independently with follow-up support from the course tutors.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students who successfully participate in this module can

• understand the relevance of interfaces in the natural and artificial world.

• master the fundamentals of the subject and apply them to the specific case of wetting, particle nucleation, growth and stabilization

• analyse interfacial-dependent processes in their connection with engineering challenges and develop solutions.

• define the societal relevance of particle technology

• give examples of unit operations of particle technology

• differentiate between the various approaches for defining particle size and shape

• analyze the motion of particles according to physical and engineering principles

• analyze particle size distributions, distinguish between accepted norms for their presentation, and apply them for the analysis of separation equipment

• describe the structure of packings and bulk materials and the perfusion of those

• describe the fundamentals of the processes of separation, mixing, comminution and fluidization

• apply their acquired knowledge and skills in the additional exercises and tutorials in order to solve independently problems from interfacial and mechanical processes engineering
