ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES PART B
In summary, the course contents (divided by modules) will be the following:
Module 1: Calorimetry applied to the study of industrial reacting systems
Duration: 16 hours - Frontal Lessons
Elements of thermal stability of reacting systems (thermal runaway).
Illustration of the main calorimetric methods to characterize the thermochemical stability of substances or reactive systems (Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC; Accelerating Rate Calorimetry, ARC; C80; PHI-TEC II; RC1) in different conditions, typical of the operation of an industrial plant (both of "routine" or non-standard or emergency); use of different sets of calorimetric tests for the definition of the kinetics of any complex reacting system. Practical examples of process scale-up. Dynamics of accidents actually occurred in chemical companies.
Module 2: Flammability and explosiveness
Duration: 8 hours - Frontal Lessons
Flammability characteristics of liquids, gases, dusts and mists. Flammability and explosive limits. Puddle fires, Jet fire, Flash fire, Fireball.
Lessons: slides and handouts are provided in the classroom by the professor (in pdf or paper format) - available on the educational portal in pdf format.
Movies: files provided in the classroom by the teacher or reachable through links listed directly on the slides and handouts provided to the students in pdf format.
The course will be conducted entirely using lectures in which, in addition to the normal teaching activities, you will make extensive use of multimedia movies in order to promote the learning of all the concepts relating to both the operation of industrial equipment and the dynamics of all processes analyzed.
