Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, 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
Students understand physical phenomenon of drying and evaporation as well as the most common drying and evaporation processes. Students understand how to improve the energy efficiency of dryers and evaporators. Students are able to solve practical engineering problems related to drying and evaporation processes.
