Fundamentals of process engineering WF-OB-PIP
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamental laws of fluid statics and dynamics, fluid classification, and the principles and key parameters of basic unit operations used in industrial installations, along with examples of applied equipment. Students will also be introduced to the main construction materials, their properties, and applications. The final lecture, which is a seminar, aims to familiarize students with how to solve simple technological problems using the unit operations discussed.

Term 2023/24_Z:
The subject Fundamentals of Process Engineering comprises 30 hours and will be taught in the form of fifteen two-hour conventional lectures with elements of a conversation lecture. The first lectures will cover the basic laws of statics and dynamics of liquids and gases and will discuss the division of liquids. Subsequent lectures will cover basic physicochemical phenomena and their mechanisms (movement of bodies in fluids, heat transfer, mass transfer) and their use in key unit processes such as mixing, distillation, drying, crystallisation or absorption. The principles of these processes, key parameters and relationships between them will be discussed. Groups of equipment used to carry out these processes will be presented, as well as the construction and operating principles of selected apparatus. The final lectures will focus on the basic structural materials used in process engineering. A division of materials will be presented, followed by a discussion of individual material groups with a discussion of their properties and the properties of selected representatives of these groups, as well as their applications. Successful completion of the course will be determined by a positive assessment of the final colloquium, verifying the knowledge acquired by the students during the lectures. |

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE:
The student defines the basic laws of fluid mechanics (T.01); describes the application and apparatus used for the unit operations discussed and applies the basic concepts related to these operations (T.02-T.12); characterises basic construction materials (T.13)
SKILLS:
The student solves simple technological problems using the discussed unit operations (T.14)
COMPETENCES:.
The student applies their own concept to solve a simple technological problem
1 ECTS = 25-30 hours
participation in classes (direct contact with the lecturer): 30 hours
participation in assessments outside classes (direct contact with the lecturer): 2 hours
independent work (preparation for classes and exams): 30 hours
Total 62
ECTS = 62 hours/30 hours = 2
Assessment criteria
Two excused absences are permitted. The final grade for the course consists of the written exam grade. The written exam consists of two open-ended questions and one technological issue, which must be solved using the unit operations learned, followed by a description of these operations and the laws governing them, and an example of the equipment used.
The maximum number of points in the colloquium is 56. The grade is given based on the number of points obtained:
52-56 points - 5
47-51 points - 4.5
40-46 points - 4
35-39 points - 3.5
29-34 points - 3
