The goal | Methodological approach to the scale-up of processes. Learning how to use mathematical models, dimensional analysis and laboratory measurement data in order to design correctly industrial processes. | |||
The outcome | Students are able to apply basic principles of scale-up on the design of processes and equipment based on laboratory and pilot measuremant data. | |||
