Study Guide

Objective

Having completed the study unit, the participants are able to
- calculate and scale simple material and heat transfer processes
- describe equipment and technologies required in unit operations and unit processes as well as in heat and material transfer processes
- tell about special characteristics of different processes in chemical engineering and choose and scale equipment for processes.
- describe the importance of planning and scaling to resource efficient production

Content

- Material flow calculations

Teaching methods

The course includes workshop days, online teaching, independent material and calculation exercises.
Online-focused teaching requires the student to be active, because the online sessions are short and there is plenty of work to be done.
Online lectures are more effective if the material has already been read in advance and the discussion can be started in an online environment.

Exam schedules

Unit processes exam
Fundamental of flow technology and
Fundamental of thermal engineering
Retake exams on EE technology exam days, which are announced at the beginning of the course in the learning environment.

International connections

The technologies are studied during web-lessons, by independent studying and calculating simple practical examples. The tasks will be done individually and in groups.
Constructive teaching is based on previous mathematics, physics and thermodynamics lessons, so self-review of the topics before the course is necessary for self-assessments.
By mastering the basics of flow and thermal engineering, the student has a better ability to understand the phenomena related to these and apply what he has learned in topics related to energy saving

Completion alternatives

Equivalent training acquired elsewhere (university level, bachelor of science level or equivalent), which is encouraged according to Turkuamk's instructions at the student's initiative.

Student workload

The work consists of workshops, web-lectures, calculation task, independent work and exams. 5 credit equal to 133 h.
The learning tasks are online feedback and you don't get feedback about them separately.
The tasks in the first section are related to unit processes and their application. The part is more theory-oriented study.
Flow engineering and Thermal engineering are calculation-oriented sections and the tasks related to them require a lot of self-study.

Further information

All communication together in lessons and math lessons.
ITS-Learning bulletin board
In urgent cases, a separate e-mail in which e.g. the teacher informs about urgent matters. Students communicate in joint lectures, so that information is spread as efficiently as possible.
Do not use other tools, such as Peppi messages, etc., to manage the course.

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

Performance in the course
The course consists of three separate exams, from different topics. The arithmetic average of the exams is the implementation grade. (Unless other information adviced during the lessons)
Each sub-area must be passed with at least a grade of 1. The flow and heat transfer technology exams are organized together.

Re-take examinations according to the general guidelines of faculty of EE- technology.
Previous course completions that are part of a rejected whole (previous course) are used only at the student's presentation, at the beginning of the course, using a separate individual consideration.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

Failed in examination
To pass the course, each section of the course must be satisfactorily completed.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Exam-specific Assessment scale for passing mentioned below:
1) 35 % < pisteet < 48 %
2) 48 % < pisteet < 61 %
As well as the arithmetic average of the sub-exams

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The scale of intermediate exams below and the arithmetic mean of each exam separately
3) 61 % < points < 74 %
4) 74 % < points < 87 %
In order to receive a grade, you must also pass the level of the criteria for awarding lower grades

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The result of the intermediate exams is the value below and the average of the sub-exams
5) 87% < points
In order to receive a grade, you must also pass the level of the criteria for awarding lower grades
