The goal		Methodological approach to the scale-up of processes. Learning how to use mathematical models, dimensional analysis and laboratory measurement data in order to design correctly industrial processes.
The outcome		Students are able to apply basic principles of scale-up on the design of processes and equipment based on laboratory and pilot measuremant data.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Introduction. Historical development of the scale-up. Scientific, engineering and economical aspects of scale-up. Risk factors. Theory of similarity. Geometical, mechanical, thermal and chemical similarity. Partial and total similarity. Dimensional analysis. Buckingham's pi-theorem. Empirical correlations -importance and limitations. Regime analysis of processes and characteristic times. Various case studies refering to mechanical, thermal and diffusional operations as well as reaction systems.
Contents of exercises		Calculations of scale-up problems in Chemical Engineering: Viscous flow through the pipe, Plug flow reactor with first order reaction, Power of agitation, Convective heat transfer by flowing through the pipe, Gas-liquid mass transfer in a stirred vessel.
