Teaching language

Portuguese

Objectives

It is intended to familiarize students with processes, technologies and equipments that are close to the industrial reality.

Program

1. Laboratory projects
- Feedback control of a two tank cascade;
- Tratment of liquid efluents by chemical oxidation with Fenton's reactant;
- CO2 adsorption on a activated carbon packed bed;
- Pressure swing adsorption.

2. Software projects
- Computer aided fluid dynamics (FLUENT).

Main Bibliography

Lab manuals are supplied to students. Complementary sources are also indicated for each case.

Software

FLUENT

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

Students must perform all the planned projects. Students with more than one injustified absence will not obtain frequency.

Classification improvement

Students that have attained frequency and wishing to improve their final classification must perform a lab exam (with practical and theoretical components) corresponding to one of the projects in the syllabus and write a full report on that work. The continuous evaluation classification (AC) will be mantained.
CLASSIFICATION = 0,4 x EL + 0,4 x RC + 0,2 x AC
A minimum classification of 10 is required in the lab exam (EL) and in the report (RC).
