We will start the course by looking at mechanic separations: i.e. separations where some sort of mechanical energy is added/used during the separation.

Week 2

11 September 2012 (02A)

13 September 2012 (02B)

14 September 2012 (02C)

Week 3

18 September 2012 (03A)

  • We will cover the topics of screens and particle size distributions. Please see the readings below, if you want some more background.
  • Audio and video recording of the class
  • Slides for class

20 September 2012 (03B)

  • We will cover the topic of centrifugal separations; some references for reading ahead are listed below: Geankoplis is the most relevant.
  • Audio and video recording of the class
  • Slides for class (updated)

21 September 2012 (03C)

  • We will continue on the topic of centrifugal separation, wrapping up with an example and a design study.
  • A great presentation on beer clarification, showing photos of the internals of the disk-bowl centrifuge. Notice the dimensions are similar to those we designed in class today.
  • Audio and video recording of the class
  • Slides for class (updated) (Same slides as 20 September)

Week 4

25 September 2012 (04A)

  • We will wrap up with an final example on centrifugal separations and review the beer design one final time. The rest of the class will be a review of assignment 2.
  • Audio and video recording of the class

27 September 2012 (04B)

  • We will introduce cyclone separators.
  • Updated notes will be available shortly.
