Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Execution: Lectures + exercises
Assessment methods and criteria: Exam. You must get 7.5/20 points in the exam to pass the course. You can get extra points by returning calculation problems. Extra points are taken into account since you have passed the exam.
Elaboration of the evaluation criteria and methods, and acquainting students with the evaluation (applies in this implementation):
To
pass the course you must get 7.5/20 points in the exam. This is the only
requirement.

Study Material (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Compedium + other additional material
Book: Mujumdar Arun S. Handbook of industrial drying Vol. 1
Details on the course materials (applies in this implementation):
For students, who understand Finnish, a course handout
Holmberg Henrik, Ramm-Schmidt Leif, Kuivaus- ja haihdutusprosessit teollisuudessa. You can download the Finnish course material on MyCourse as a pdf-file
For students, who do not understand Finnish, the following handbook
Mujumdar Arun S. (editor), Handbook of Industrial Drying (e.g. second version). The following chapters
Chapter 1: Drying of solids: Principles, classification, and selection of dryers
Chapter 3: Basic process calculations
Chapter 4: Transport properties in the drying of solids (Moisture diffusivity, Equilibrium moisture content)
Chapter 35: Superheated steam drying
The book contains a lot of imformation on various dryers. This is additional material.
For all students
A compendium about thermodynamics of humid air. You can download the material as pdf-file on MyCourses.
All lecture slides will be uploaded on MyCourses.
Substitutes for Courses (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Ene-59.4130. Kuivatus- ja haihdutusprosessit teollisuudessa
Prerequisites (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Energy and mass balances of stationary flow systems and thermodynamics of humid air
Grading Scale (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
0-5
Details on the schedule (applies in this implementation):
The course has 10 lectures and 5 calculation exercises. Every calculation exercise has a "Star Problem". If you solve the star problem and submit it for grading you can get some extra points. You can maximally get 2.5 extra points. These points are taken into account in exam points since you have passed the exam. In other words, you must first get the minimum number points (7.5/20 points) before the extra points are considered.
Preliminary course content and schedule will be uploaded on MyCourses in the beginnig of the course
