This online short course looks at why Heat transfer is ubiquitous in industrial processes and why drying is almost always necessary for kinds of solid products. Rob Peeling will introduce you to some of the many types of equipment available and understanding of some of the underlying principles to help choose between them. The course will take place via an online platform on:
Friday 30th June – 2.00pm – 5.00pm BST (British Summer Time)
Covering the following topics;
Heat transfer calculations
Types of heat transfer equipment
Heat transfer in batch vessels
Evaporation
Joule-Thomson effect
Humidity and the drying process
Application to solvents
Dryer design & equipment
The module has been developed, and is presented, by chemical engineer/chemist – Rob Peeling – who specialises in facilitating knowledge transfer and understanding between different scientific and engineering disciplines working at the R&D-manufacturing interface. It does not dwell on the derivation of mathematical formulae or equations used in chemical engineering design, but instead focuses on what other disciplines need to know about the information and data that chemical engineers require for design, scale-up and process troubleshooting.
Chemical engineering without mathematics is impossible, but only relevant mathematics is presented at a level that should not trouble anyone with a numerate scientific degree. Other disciplines do not need to know how to design plants or equipment and the modules do not attempt to teach this. They focus on understanding chemical engineering principles to promote clear communication between disciplines, facilitating information and knowledge transfer.
The session is structured to provide flexibility in a online training environment. Interactivity is retained by enabling participants to split out into virtual break-out rooms to work on examples that help cement understanding of the material presented.
