Objectives and Content
Objectives:
Content:
The subject introduces multiphase systems in the processing industry. The course includes: momentum transport in and between continuous (fluid) and disperse (bubbles, drops or particles) phases, applications to multiphase flow phenomena, heat and mass transfer between continuous and dispersed phases applications (e.g. to contacting towers), chemical reaction with simultaneous transport of momentum, heat and mass between the phases, and applications to multiphase reactors.
Learning Outcomes

Lectures / 4 hours per week
Tutorials /2 hours per week.
Compulsory Assignments and Attendance
Forms of Assessment
The forms of assessment are:
- Midterm exam (2 hours), 25% of total grade.
- Written exam (4 hours), 75% of total grade.
- In a semester in where teaching is not offered will the final exam count 100%
- Due to COVID-19, spring 2020 has a final home exam counting 100%
Due to the measures taken to avoid the spread of Covid-19, UiB is closed for on-campus assessment. As a consequence, the following changes is made to assessment autumn semester 2020:
- Written home examination instead of written examination
Examination Support Material
Basic calculator allowed in accordance with the regulations specified by the Faculty.
Approved calculator models include: Casio fx-82ES PLUS and Casio fx-82EX
Grading Scale
The grading scale used is A to F. Grade A is the highest passing grade in the grading scale, grade F is a fail.
Assessment Semester
Spring semester and autumn semester.
Reading List
The reading list will be available within June 1st for the autumn semester and January 1st for the spring semester.
Course Evaluation
The course will be evaluated by the students in accordance with the quality control system at UiB and the department.
