The fundamentals and basic operations learned in Mechanical Process Engineering I are deepened in this course. Processes and equipment for the separation, classification, comminution and storage of solids are presented. Apparatus such as thickeners, centrifuges, silos or filtration and membrane systems can be designed using the methods learned. The deformation and fracture behavior of particles and agglomerates is also covered. Furthermore, an insight into modern numerical methods in particle technology such as the discrete element method is provided. The application of such simulation tools is also explained in several exercises and can be tested by the students.

Content:

• Flow behavior of bulk solids
• Fundamentals of fluid-solid flows
• Fundamentals of rheology and stability of suspensions
• Processes for classifying and sorting particles from fluids
• Microprocesses of comminution: contact and fracture mechanics of particles
• Modeling and simulation of mechanical processes
