(3) SYLLABUS
The aim of the course is the introduction to the analysis and design of basic physical
processes. Modules include introduction, fundamentals of process analysis and design,
analysis and design of experiments, and fluid flow mechanics. Concepts such as thermal
processes with simultaneous mass transfer, particle mechanics (filtration, centrifugation,
sedimentation, cyclones, filters, crystallization, fracture, agglomeration), will be analyzed and
explained to the program participants. This course is obligatory for students of the master’s
programme. The course provides knowledge of the core tools used in the area of Circular
Economy, their philosophy and their position in the field. Students are trained in the
applicability of these tools by working on case studies with the aid of specific software-tools.
The core modules of the course include:
• Physical process
• Long wave radiation
• Short wave radiation
• Ocean model
• Deep convection
• Solar energy
• Physical and Chemical properties and changes
• The water cycle
• Geophysical processes
