<p>This module provides an introduction to fluid and particle mechanics, methods of solid-liquid and solid-gas separation. It provides basic concepts related to particle-fluid motion and solid handling including size analysis. It also describes principles of sedimentation, filtration, elutriation, flow of fluids through packed beds of solid particles, fluidized bed, mixing and mixer design, crystallization and drying of solids.</p>

SHC4034 - Solid-Fluid Systems and Particle Technology

Solid-Fluid Systems and Particle Technology

be able to apply various mathematical models critically to calculate the power required for crushing of particles to a smaller size range.

be be able to select appropriate units for separation, mixing or handling of solid/liquid/gas systems by applying critical judgement.

be able to design and critically analyse the principles involved in the operation of filtration, sedimentation, fluidization, mixing, crystallization and drying units.

be able to apply relevant subject knowledge to solve well-defined and abstract problems.

be able to analyse and evaluate the use of flocculation, centrifugation and elutriation techniques for liquid-solid and solid liquid separation.

be able to operate a range of solid-fluid and particle handling laboratory equipment, manipulate the experimental data and relate this to the design of large-scale operations.
