The course is focused on separations columns, and in particular columns for absorption and distillation. Thermodynamics is recalled briefly, and then the main equations are derived on a theoretical basis. Graphical tools are illustrated as well, with attention to the underlying simplifying hypotheses. The theory is developed in parallel with exercises. In particular, a distillation problem is solved with UniSim (process simulation software) in the computer classroom.
The grade will be the average of the marks awarded in the two modules in which this course is divided. Please refer to the consultation of the individual modules for details.
