The course deals with the application of theory to practical problems of energy handling in chemical engineering processes.  Students working in groups make practical applications of the material learnt in previously taught courses e.g. Unit Operations, Transport Phenomena, Multiphase Flows, Primary Energy Sources. Participants are trained in performing experimental work, data acquisition, analysis and presentation, team management, and in writing technical reports. Typical experiments deal with:

• Physico-chemical characterization of petroleum fractions (A. Lemonidou, Assoc. Prof).
• Gas-liquid flow design-Energy considerations (S.V. Paras., Assoc. Prof).
• Study of the energy efficiency of process equipment, e.g. a rotary dryer (A.A. Mouza, Lecturer).
• Determination of kinetic parameters in the C+O2 gas-solid reaction (G. Stavropoulos, Lecturer).
