EQUIPMENT DESIGN FOR CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Preliminary information and basic techniques are provided for the mechanical design of components of industrial plants, in particular in the field of chemical and petrochemical plants.

Topics related to the behavior of materials under mechanical and / or thermal loads under static and dynamic conditions and design of simple mechanical components will be dealt with.

Frontal lessons.

Exercises on the topics of the course.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
