course aims in Estonian
Aine eesmärgiks on:
- anda süsteemne ülevaade keemiatehnika ainevaldkonnast kui rakendusinseneeriast seoses elukeskkonnaga, keskkonnatehnoloogiaga ja ressursside vääristamisega läbi soojusenergeetiliseste ja keemiatehnoloogiate.
- anda teadmised keemiatehnika kui ainevaldkonna põhimõistetest, eetikast, printsiipidest, arvutusmeetoditest ning erialaspestiifilistest tarkvaradest;
- õpetada üliõpilasi valima ja kasutama meetodeid ning vahendeid erialase informatsiooni kogumiseks ning selle kriitiliseks ja loovaks tõlgendamiseks;
- kujundada süsteemne seos erinevate keemiatehnika komponentide vahel.
course aims in English
The goal of the course is
- to give a systematic overview of the field of chemical engineering as an applied engineering discipline related to the living environment, environmental technology and the refining of resources through thermal energetic and chemical technology.
- to convey knowledge about the main concepts, ethics, principles, calculation methods and software of the field of chemical engineering
- to teach students how to select and use methods and resources for gathering information and for critically and creatively interpreting it
- to develop a systematic relationship between different components of chemical engineering.

brief description of the course in Estonian
Õppeaines käsitletakse järgmisi teemasid. Keemiatehnika põhiprintsiibid - termodünaamika printsiibid, massi ja energia jäävuse seadus, ülekandeprotsesside tasakaal ja kineetika. Ühikud. Metroloogia (mõõtmiste) alused. Ainete füüsikalis-keemilised ja termodünaamilised omadused. Mõõteandmete statistiline analüüs. Mittestatsionaarsed ja statsionaarsed süsteemid/protsessid. Pidevad ja perioodilised süsteemid/protsessid. Protsesside liikumapanev jõud ja takistus. Leviprotsessid (vedelike ja gaaside voolamine, soojuslevi, massilevi). Tehnoloogiliste protsesside modelleerimise tarkvara (Aspen) kasutamise printsiibid. Tehnoloogiliste skeemide lugemise alused. Keemiatööstuse ohutuse ja riskihinnangute alused.
Praktikumis teostatakse rühmatööna kuni 3 laboratoorset tööd (õppejõu valikul) mõõteoskuste arendamiseks. Harjutustundides lahendatakse õppeaines käsitletavate teemade põhiseid ülesandeid ja tutvutakse modelleerimise tarkvara Aspen võimalustega. Aspen tarkvara kasutatakse projektülesande lahendamiseks.
brief description of the course in English
The course will cover the following topics. Fundamental principles of chemical engineering – principles of thermodynamics, the law of matter and energy conservation, equilibrium and kinetics of transfer processes. Units. Fundamentals of metrology (measurements). Physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of compounds. Statistical analysis of experimental data. Transient and steady-state systems/processes. Continuous and periodic systems/processes. Driving forces and resistances of processes. Transport processes (fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer) and their modelling. Principles of using technological process modeling software (Aspen). Fundamentals of reading technological schemes. Fundamentals of safety and risk assessment in the chemical industry.
Up to 3 laboratory works are performed in groups (at the choice of the lecturer) to develop measurement skills. In the exercise lessons, the problems based on the topics covered in the course are solved and the possibilities of the modeling software Aspen are introduced. Aspen software is used to solve a project task.
