Learning Outcomes
1Lecture, critiques of paper, class presentations and term paper
2You will be introduced to the principles and calculation techniques used in food engineering.
3You will learn what material and energy balances are, how to formulate them and how to solve them.
4You will be learn simultenous mass and energy transport processes usually faced by food engineering.
5We aim to improve your efficiency and consistency in problem solving, by practicing problem definition, data assemblage, data analysis and selection of appropriate solution methods.
