151-0123-00L	Experimental Methods for Engineers	4 credits	2V + 2U	T. Rösgen, R. S. Abhari, K. Boulouchos, M. Mazzotti, D. J. Norris, H.‑M. Prasser, P. Rudolf von Rohr, A. Steinfeld
Abstract	The course presents an overview of measurement tasks in engineering applications. Different concepts for the acquisition, storage and processing of typical measurement quantities are introduced. Laboratory exercises from different application areas (especially in thermofluidics and process engineering) expand the theoretical foundations introduced in class.
Learning objective	Introduction to questions of measurement techniques, with particular emphasis on thermo-fluids. Presentation of various classic sensor technologies and analytical procedures. Study of various applications in the laboratory.
Content	Structure of measurement techniques - assignment Measurable dimensions: physical level (Electrical noise) Sampling, quantification, filtering Measurement of mechanical dimensions Measurement of thermodynamic dimensions Measuring in flows Measurement of process engineering process parameters.

Content	PhD students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. Every week there are two presentations, each structured as follows: 15 min introduction to the research topic, 15 min presentation of the results, 15 min discussion with the audience.
Lecture notes	Slides will be distributed.
151-0927-00L	Rate-Controlled Separations in Fine Chemistry	4 credits	3G	M. Mazzotti, J. Kluge
Abstract	The students are supposed to obtain detailed insight into the fundamentals of separation processes that are frequently applied in modern life sicence processes in particular, fine chemistry and biotechnology.
Learning objective	The students are supposed to obtain detailed insight into the fundamentals of separation processes that are frequently applied in modern life sicence processes in particular, fine chemistry and biotechnology.
Content	The class covers separation techniques that are central in the purification and downstream processing of chemicals and bio-pharmaceuticals. Examples from both areas illustrate the utility of the methods: 1) Liquid-liquid extraction; 2) Adsorption and chromatography; 3) Membrane processes; 4) Crystallization and precipitation.
Lecture notes	Handouts during the class
Literature	Recommendations for text books will be covered in the class
