Lecturers & Examiners: Prof. Dr. Christoph Müller, Dr. Felix Donat
VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-06-01 11:31:21

Abstract

Overview of process engineering; fundamentals of process engineering; processes and balances; overview of thermal separation processes and multiphase systems; overview of mechanical separation processes and granular systems; introduction into reaction engineering, reactors and residence times.

Objective

We teach the fundamentals of process engineering using practical examples as well as concrete process engineering problems in the areas of process control and balancing, thermal separation processes, mechanical separation processes and reaction engineering.

Content

Overview of process engineering; fundamentals of process engineering; processes and balances; overview of thermal separation processes and multiphase systems; overview of mechanical separation processes and granular systems; introduction into reaction engineering, reactors and residence times. In addition to teaching basic theoretical knowledge, the focus is on solving typical problems in various subdisciplines of process engineering.
