Process Engineering of Metals and Ceramics
Objectives and Competence
The students understand coupled processes of simultaneous heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reactions. They know the mechanism to identify the rate determing steps. They can assess processes applying energy and molecular balances for the thermal engineering of the production of inorganic materials. They are able to connect different fields of chemical and energy engineering for the total production chain starting from raw materials until the wanted product of high quality.
