Objectives

Acquisition of core engineering fundamental knowledge related to flow and fluid mixture and separation processes (solid/solid, solid/liquid, gas/solid). Acquisition of advanced engineering knowledge related to the design of different equipments. Identification, formulation and definition of priorities by carrying out a small project on flow network of fluids. Students will have to carry out a bibliography and electronic research to complete this project.

Eligibility for exams

To be admitted to exams, students have to do the project .

Calculation formula of final grade

FG= 0.30*P+0.50*FE+0.20 T; FG- Final Grade P- Project, FE- Final Exam; T - Tests. In the exam the minimum mark is 8/20.

Examinations or Special Assignments

A project (maximum of 2 students) on internal flow and pumps

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam according to the calendar of the department.

Classification improvement

Students can improve the grade of the tests component.
