Sedimentology
Pavlos Avramidis - Undergraduate -
(A-)
Geology Department, University of Patras
This lesson includes lectures per themes, that allow the student to acquire basic knowledge on sedimentology. It also includes laboratory excercises which help with more practical knowledge. There are also some summary questions that help with the evaluation of acquired knowledge.
|
The aim of this course is to understand the fundamental principles related to energy production from renewable sources. More specifically economic, technical and environmental issues will be presented which is related to energy sources such as:
- Solar energy and photovoltaic systems
- Wind energy,
- Geothermal energy,
- Hydroelectric energy and
- Energy from biomass.
|
Students are trained in basic chemical engineering processes, learn to operate experimental laboratory or semi-pilot devices, present their results in original technical reports and process of measurements exploiting the knowledge gained in their respective theoretical courses.
|
By accomplishing a successful participation in this laboratory course the student should be able to:
1. have been acquainted with the basic applications of Electrochemistry by comprehending the concepts of conductivity, equivalent conductivity, ionic mobility, transport number and electromotive force (emf)
2. to have comprehended a spectroscopic method of quantitative analysis
3. to comprehend through specific practical applications the behavior of non ideal solutions of volatile liquids and solutions of solids (molecular and ionic) in liquid solvents.

Mass Transfer
Dionisiοs Mantzavinos - Undergraduate -
(A-)
Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras
The aim of this course is to educate students on mass transfer, where the transfer of a chemical species or substance primarily occurs from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration with the concentration gradient being the driving force. Students learn to write down mass balances, determine the differential equation governing the problem, choose the correct boundary conditions and learn to calculate the distribution of concentration along the motion, as well as mass transfer rates. At the end of the course, students acquire knowledge of the mass transfer in porous materials and solve similar problems.

Eleytherios Amanatides - Undergraduate -
(A-)
Chemical Engineering Department, University of Patras
At the end of this course the student should learn:
1. The meanings of biocompatibility and toxicity of
biomaterials
2. The different types of biomaterials depending on the
biomedical application and the most important mechanical,
physicochemical and biological properties of these
materials.
3. The differences between biomaterials that are designed for organs replacement, reconstruction and regeneration.
4. The most important types of proteins, cells and tissues and their mechanisms of interactions with biomaterials surfaces
5. The most important in-vitro and in-vivo test of biomaterials for monitoring their biocompatibility and toxicity
6. The most important mechanisms of cells response to
wounds caused by biomaterials implantation
6. Application of biomaterials in ophthalmology,
orthopediatrics, cardiovascular surgery and urology.
