Content scheduling

Content:
The course consentrates on the basic demands of resource efficient production.
-unit operations
-mass- and heat transfer equipment and -technologies
-mass balance,
-basics of mass balance, materials flow and heat transfer calculations
-design and scaling of unit processes
- simple calculations of unit processes

Timing:
Autumn 2024. Teams lectures at Thursdays
Weekly Teams meeting between 18-19 a clock
Lectures at school 5.10.2023 ; 9.11.2023 ; 29.11.2023 ; 13.12.2023 (Exam during this time)
When the local lecturing is held, the teams lectures are not gathered together during the same week, despite what was the exact date
No lecturing during week 42

Preliminary:
Unit processes, 1,5 cr weeks 36-40
Flow Technology and Mass Balance, 2 cr, weeks 41-46
Heat Technology 1,5 cr, weeks 47-50

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
- Heat transfer calculations
- Material and heat transfer equipment and processes

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.
