Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Have acquired professional skills in relation to the objective defining the degree.
- Specialise in at least one sub-domain of chemistry.
- Integrate into a professional environment and collaborate with stakeholders on an industrial project.
Learning Outcomes of UE
Identify correctly the number of degrees of freedom of industrial chemical processes ; write and solve mass and energy balances (without and with chemical reactions) ; assess transport phenomena in a single phase or between phases (mass, energy and momentum) ; handle easily units of measurement ; calculate the main physical and chemical properties (enthalpy, viscosity, diffusivity, density, ...).
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
