Mechanical Processes are to be found all over in the fields of energy, environmental protection and process engineering. The key goal is to get to know the most important mechanical unit operations and their corresponding equipment. Specific examples for the empirical and analytical design, respectively are shown. The theoretical input is given in the lecture part, accompanied by calculation examples. Three typical mechanical processes are performed analized as laboratory experiments.

1. Fundamentals of bulk solids processing technology 1.1 Grain distribution 1.2 Sieve analysis 1.3 Specific surface area 1.4 Particle settling velocity 1.5 Swarm behaviour 1.6 Viscosity of suspensions 2. Mechanical processes and apparatus 2.1 Crushing processes 2.2 Screening processes 2.3 Bulk material handling 2.4 Storage of bulk materials/silos 2.5 Sedimentation apparatus 2.6 Centrifuges/decanters 2.7 Filter apparatus 2.8 Mixing processes/agitators 2.9 Membrane processes

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

• Written examination or
• oral exam

• Field work / Experimental work

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

According to directive of studies

Students who have successfully completed this module will have mastered the fundamentals of the most important basic operations in mechanical processes. They will be familiar with how the most common types of equipment work. They will also have mastered the procedures for analytical and empirical calculation of these processes and will be able to carry out laboratory tests.

Students enhance the required fundamentals.

Students are familiar with the essential procedures and their fundamentals.

The students are capable of choosing the optimum mechanical processes in order to solve the given problem.
