Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Students should have basic background in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry as well as in the Principles of Food Processing and Preservation
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. recognize and understand the transport phenomena that take place during food processing,
2. describe the above phenomena using suitable equations,
3. calculate variables concerning dimensions of food processing equipment (e.g. heat exchanger surface, pump power) or processing times (retention time of a food can in a retort).
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Basic types and use of mathematical models. Fundamentals of Engineering: units, steam tables, thermal properties, enthalpy and forms of heat, mass and energy balances. Rheology: viscosity, types of fluids, rheological characterization. Momentum transfer: flow types, Reynolds number, flow induced friction, mechanical energy balance-Bernoulli equation. Heat transfer: heat transfer mechanisms, conduction, convection, radiation, ohmic and microwave heating, steady and unsteady heat transfer. Mass transfer: Fick law, mass transfer coefficients, diffusion equations. Laboratory exercises covering all topics.
