FPE-35403 Sustainable Food and Bioprocessing - Exergy analysis (DL)

Course

Credits 3.00

Language of instruction:

English.

Contents:

In this course we will study the influences of different choices in food production and processing methods. The evaluation of existing and new technologies requires appropriate evaluation instruments, plus a process system design that allows optimal use of resources and technologies. This course will provide the analytical instruments of Exergy Analysis, for the objective evaluation on efficient use of raw materials, energy, water and other utilities for various food production systems (from large-scale supply chain, factory level, down to product and unit operation level).

Learning outcomes:

After successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:
-prepare Grassmann diagrams for exergy flows and destruction;
- analyse process systems with exergy analysis;
- identify thermodynamic efficiencies;
- identify options for improvement.

Activities:

Knowledge clips, digital exercises, case studies.

Examination:

Remote proctored written exam.

Literature:

All information will be provided on Blackboard.
