The aim of the subject is quantitative description of processes in industry and in nature and use of this knowledge in the design of equipment. The subject includes three basic process classes - hydrodynamic processes, heat and mass transport. Within the subject, the qualitative knowledge of transport phenomena and their applications in engineering modelling using dimensional analysis leading to an understanding of the principles of scale-up and equipment design, are deepened.
The course has a general structure, outlined by a list of chapters from which the topics related to the scope of PhD thesis will be selected.
