Annotation
In working groups (usually of three), students get to know the basic operations and apparatus used in chemical and food industry. The task of the group is to carry out the prescribed measurements, process the experimental data and draw up a written protocol about the measurement process and its results. The protocol also contains the conclusions.

Aim of the course

Students will be able to:

control real chemical-engineering apparatus in practice,

basic principles of regulation and measurement of basic physical quantities,

process experimental data and

interpret the results.

Course completion requirements

Students have to participate in six laboratory tasks, prepare a report from each task and defend the conclusions. For each piece of work, students will receive three grades (examination before the work, from the protocol, examination after the work from the protocol and the relevant theory) and none of them may be "F". The final mark is determined as the arithmetic mean of 18 marks.
