Synopsis:

The aim of course is to deepen the momentum transfer knowledge and their applications to the theoretical description of selected hydraulic processes in both single and multi-phase systems. Attention will be especially given to theoretical background of flow and transport of Newtonian and non-Newtonian materials, fluid flow in porous beds, hydraulic separation processes and processes taken place in the apparatuses equipped with static mixers or mechanical agitator. On the basis of dissertation topic the higher attention will be focused on the corresponding themes.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:
