Objectives
To let students acquire insight in dimensioning and function of production - and processing units in agro-food-industries. Place these processing units within specific production diagrams.

Topics
  • Overview of the entity processes in agro-food-industry. Analysis of production diagrams of several processing processes.
  • Mechanical separation processes: types, principles
  • Size reduction processes
  • Mixing processes
  • Air humidity, Mollier-diagram and drying processes
  • warmth transfer systems: conduction, convection, heat insulation


Prerequisites
Basic knowledge maths and physics

Final Objectives
  • A production diagram are possible establish.
  • The different entity processes are possible a production diagram to define.
  • Able is for simple problems concerning capacity, energy usage, dimensionering of a process entity to solve.
