Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student has knowledge of the fundamental theory of the mass transfer and understands its essential physical and chemical phenomena and concepts. The student can apply the theory for analysis, and modelling of various mass transfer processes and phenomena in technology and nature.
