| 151-0926-00L | Separation Process Technology Note: The previous course title until FS22 "Separation Process Technology I". | 4 credits | 4G | A. Bardow | ||||||||
| Abstract | This course provides the tools to design separation processes for ideal and non-ideal systems, based on vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid phase equilibria and mass transfer phenomena. | |||||||||||
| Learning objective | At the end of this course, the students will be able to: - summarize the thermodynamic basis of equilibrium-based separation processes; - apply thermodynamic principles to distillation, absorption, and extraction processes; - design different technologies for vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid separations; - solve separation tasks involving ideal and non-ideal systems. | |||||||||||
| Content | Methods for the non-empirical design of equilibrium stage separations for ideal and non-ideal systems, based on mass transfer phenomena and phase equilibrium. Topics: introduction to separation process technologies. Phase equilibria: vapor/liquid and liquid/liquid. Flash vaporization: binary and multicomponent. Equilibrium stages and multistage cascades. Continuous distillation: design methods for binary and multicomponent systems, column and equipment design, azeotropic distillation. Gas absorption and stripping. Liquid/liquid extraction. Co-current, counter-current, and cross-current operations. | |||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture slides and supplementary documentation will be available online. Reference to appropriate book chapters and scientific papers will be provided | |||||||||||

| 151-0928-00L | CO2 Capture and Storage and the Industry of Carbon-Based Resources | 4 credits | 3G | A. Bardow, V. Becattini, N. Gruber, M. Mazzotti, M. Repmann, T. Schmidt, D. Sutter | ||||||||
| Abstract | This course introduces the fundamentals of carbon capture, utilization, and storage and related interdependencies between technosphere, ecosphere, and sociosphere. Topics covered: origin, production, processing, and economics of carbon-based resources; climate change in science & policies; CC(U)S systems; CO2 transport & storage; life-cycle assessment; net-zero emissions; CO2 removal options. | |||||||||||
| Learning objective | The lecture aims to introduce carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) systems, the technical solutions developed so far, and current research questions. This is done in the context of the origin, production, processing, and economics of carbon-based resources and of climate change issues. After this course, students are familiar with relevant technical and non-technical issues related to using carbon resources, climate change, and CCUS as a mitigation measure. The class will be structured in 2 hours of lecture and one hour of exercises/discussion. | |||||||||||
| Content | The transition to a net-zero society is associated with major challenges in all sectors, including energy, transportation, and industry. In the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C, rapid emission reduction and negative emission technologies are crucial to limiting global warming to below 1.5 °C. Therefore, this course illuminates carbon capture, utilization, and storage as a potential set of technologies for emission mitigation and for generating negative emissions. | |||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture slides and supplementary documents will be available online. | |||||||||||

| 173-0004-00L | Thermofluids | 6 credits | 13G | A. Bardow, J. Seiler | ||||||||
| Abstract | Thermodynamics and fluid dynamics are closely interconnected and play in important role in many engineering problems. In this course, we explore the fundamentals required to solve practicable questions present in many of those problems. Furthermore, we convey skills to analyse, design and optimise technical systems for real world applications. | |||||||||||
| Learning objective | Master the basics of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Apply this knowledge to problems in the engineering field and calculation exercises. | |||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Slides will used in the morning sessions and will be shared with the students. | |||||||||||
