B) MODELS FOR THE STUDY OF UNIT OPERATIONS: EQUILIBRIUM STAGES MODEL, TRANSPORT PHENOMENA MODEL. (4 HOURS OF THEORY)

C) UNIT OPERATIONS:
EVAPORATION (SINGLE STAGE, MULTIPLE STAGES) (5 HOURS OF THEORY, 8 HOURS OF EXERCISES)

FLASH SEPARATION (6 HOURS OF THEORY, 2 HOURS OF EXERCISES)

DISTILLATION WITH DETAILED ANALYSIS OF BINARY CASE (12 HOURS OF THEORY, 10 HOURS OF EXERCISES, 8 HOURS OF LABORATORY)

THERMAL EXCHANGE AND THERMAL EXCHANGERS (8 HOURS OF THEORY, 10 HOURS OF EXERCISES, 4 HOURS OF LABORATORY)

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE CONSISTS IN FRONT LESSONS (60H - TAUGHT IN ENGLISH), CLASSROOM EXERCISE (48H - IN ITALIAN) AND ACTIVITIES IN LABORATORIES (12H, ABOUT 3 UNIT OPERATIONS IN CHEMICAL PLANT LABORATORIES AND 1 CALCULATIVE EXERCISES IN THE INFORMATIC LABORATORY), FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 120 HOURS WHICH ARE WORTH 12 CREDITS. ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

	Verification of learning
	ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE TARGETS IS CERTIFIED BY A WRITTEN EXAM OF 240 MINUTE; IT CONSISTS OF THREE EXERCISES ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT UNIT OPERATIONS, WITH QUESTIONS OF GROWING DIFFICULTY DEGREES. THE QUESTIONS VALUE IS A) 6 POINTS, B) 4 POINTS. TO PASS THE EXAMINATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO FIND THE CORRECT TECHNIQUE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AND TO CORRECTLY ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTIONS (A) OF ALL THE EXERCISES, OR SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AND CORRECTLY ANSWER TO THE BOTH QUESTIONS (A – B) OF TWO EXERCISES. AN ORAL EXAMINATION OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES IS REQUIRED TO EXPLAIN ANY UNCERTAINTY ELEMETNS ABOUT THE WRITTEN EXAM AND TO VERIFY THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONCEPTS ACQUIRED DURING THE LESSONS. ORAL EXAMINATION CAN'T SUBSTITUTE THE POSITIVE RESULT OF THE WRITTEN EXAM. THE EXCELLENCE (VOTING OF 30/30 WITH HONORS) IS OBTAINED BY CORRECT ANSWER TO ALL THE QUESTIONS OF THE EXERCISES OF WRITTEN EXAMINATION AND BY POSITIVE RESULT OF ORAL EXAMINATION, IN WHICH THE STUDENTS SHOWS THE CAPABILITY OF USING THE INFORMATION ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE AND OF APPLYING THEM TO UNUSUAL PROBLEMS.
