1 semester

Based on the content of various modules such as mechanical processes and thermal processes, knowledge of process engineering operations is deepened and broadened. Specific material properties, modelled descriptions of physical phenomena, key figures, design calculations and typical equipment implementations are dealt with according to the phases occurring on the material side.

Gas-liquid systems: surface tension, Weber and Ohnesorg number, nozzles, scrubbers, bubble columns

Gas-solid systems: particle-particle interactions, silos, fluidised beds, compactors

Solid-liquid systems: Flow through porous structures, depth filters

Gas-solid-liquid systems: capillarity, pile dehumidification, bulk solids drying, wet granulation

HTU-NTU concept

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination or
• oral exam

The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.

Thermodynamics Fluid mechanics Technical mechanics

Mechanical processes Thermal processes

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module are also familiar with more specific material properties such as wetting behaviour, indicators such as the Weber number and process engineering operations such as gassing or fluidised beds.

Students learn the procedure for creating models.

Students understand how to derive design equations for process engineering processes using the fundamentals they have learnt from modules such as engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, together with case-specific simplifying assumptions.

After successfully completing this module, students will be able to carry out rough design calculations independently. For example, they will be able to check the plausibility of sales promises made by suppliers.

Students practise analysing a physical process in discourse with different aspects.
