Modern chemical engineering is dealing not only with processes, but also with the development of new and innovation of existing products. This subject is focused on:
1. Scale-up of proceses is illustrated on the case study of pharmaceutical products.
2. Thermodynamics of the mixture of solvents or the polymer-solvent system.
3. Fundamentals of Brownian motion and diffusion.
4. Chemical engineering for renewable energy sources.

Students will be able to: 1. Understand and prepare cash-flow analysis of new or innovated product. 2. Understand and overcome peculiarities of scale-up from laboratory to pilot and production scale. 3. Estimate miscibility of solvents and polymers from Hildebrand solubility parameters. 4. Understand the link between Brownian motion and diffusion. 5. Have a comprehensive overview about engineering of renewable energy resources. 6. Apply knowledge about thermodynamics of various heat engines. Last update: Kosek Juraj (25.09.2013)
