Course content

The course is given in the spring term every year. Description of the pertinent transport processes for mass-, heat- and momentum with focus on modelling of flow phenomena. The coupling between kinetics, mass- and heat transfer processes, and flow phenomena within single phase stirred tank-, fluidized bed-, gas/liquid- and slurry reactors will bli discussed.

Learning outcome

The aim is to enhance the basic understanding of the pertinent transport processes for mass-, heat- and momentum with emphasis on the modelling of flow phenomena, to make the students able to develop more fundamental and physically realistic models for different types of single- and multiphase reactors.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and colloquium

Recommended previous knowledge

The subject requires the background theory given in TKP4160 Transport Processes and TKP4145 Reactor technology or corresponding courses. The students will benefit from elementary knowledge on of numerical methods and programming.
