Course content
The course will be lectured normally every second year. Next time autumn 2023. Frame for the technical content: Introductions to Phase Transitions. Physical State and Molecular Mobility. Water and Phase Transitions. Sorption Isotherms. Food Components and Polymers. Time-Dependent Phenomena. Mechanical Properties. Drying Kinetics. Drying and dewatering processes and systems. The course will be individually adjusted.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: Dewatering and drying processes. Phase changes and physical conditions. Time dependent phenomena in materials during drying. Drying kinetics. The course gives the student insight about: Physical and thermal processes for dewatering and drying. Dewatering phenomena and processes
Skills: The course should enable the student to: Design and dimensioning of dewatering and drying processes. Evaluation of different processes and suitability for different materials and solutions
General competence: The course should give the student: Competence within dewatering and drying processes. Knowledge about phase changes and water mobility in products during dewatering and drying
