  • EAEE E4560x (Section 1) Particle Technology 3 pts. Prerequisites: ENME E3161 and MSAE E3111 or the equivalent Introduction to engineering processes involving particulates and powders. The fundamentals of particle characterization, multiphase flow behavior, particle formation, processing and utilization of particles in various engineering applications with examples in energy and environment related technologies. Engineering of functionalized particles and design of multiphase reactors and processing units with emphasis on fluidization technology.

    Particulate systems are involved in numerous industrial processes and are present in various natural phenomena. Particle technology is a term that refers to the field of the science and technology associated with the characterization, formation, processing and utilization of particles. It is concerned with the systems in which one or more of the components are in the form of particles. The terms particles, powder and particulate solids are often used interchangeably, and the thus particle technology is often also referred to as powder technology. Recently, the scope of particle technology has been extended to cover systems containing nanoparticles, aerosols, liquid droplets, emulsions and bubbles.

    The range of particulate systems of industrial importance is vast, as is the range of processes involving particulate systems. Most of the industrial practices that engage in energy, environment, minerals, chemicals, petroleum, agricultural, food, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials, utilize particles or powders in the course of operation. Hence, understanding the particle science and technology is essential to ensure successful particle synthesis and handling, particulate process design and optimization in operation.

    Particle technology is an interdisciplinary field. Due to the complexity of particulate systems, particle technology is often treated as art than science. in this course, the fundamental principles governing the key aspects of particle science and technology will be introduced along with various industrial examples.
