Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the basic properties of particulate matter and its measurement. During the course, students will learn the basic types of measurements, their evaluation and the impact of the results on the design of process lines. The achieved properties will be applied in the input and design of process equipment and generally in technical activities related to bulk material.
