High Temperature Proccesses Glikeria Kakali, Christos Argirusis - Undergraduate - (A-) School of Chemical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens Welcome to the "High Temperature Processes” course. Within the framework of this course, concepts such as the following will be presented: high temperatures measurement, thermodynamics and phase equilibrium, glass, cement, traditional ceramics, diffusion and methods for determining diffusion coefficients, nucleation, sintering and high temperature fuel cells. This course is taught in the School of Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens. The webpage of the course at the Faculty is: http://www.chemeng.ntua.gr/the_course/High_Temperature_Proccesses.
Practical Training in Industry George Angelopoulos - Undergraduate - (A-) Department of Chemical Engineering (DCE) of the Engineering School of the University of Patras, University of Patras The Practical Training in Industry aims at enabling initial vocational training of students and at the connection of the Department and business. The institution of Internships is active at the Department of Chemical Engineering since the mid-1980s. Since 1993 is elective.
Mechanics of materials George Angelopoulos - Undergraduate - (A-) Department of Chemical Engineering (DCE) of the Engineering School of the University of Patras, University of Patras This course aims to study the behavior of deformable structures under the influence of external loads. Divided into two thematic subsections. The Statics and Strength of Materials. STATICS This course is one of the foundations of engineering sciences since studying how they respond structures (institutions) external loadings. STRENGTH OF MATERIALS The strength of materials is the branch of engineering that studies the strength of solids under pressure, the stress distribution in solids, deformities and relations trends - deformations.

Materials Science I George Angelopoulos - Undergraduate - (A-) Department of Chemical Engineering (DCE) of the Engineering School of the University of Patras, University of Patras The Materials Science is the discipline that examines materials from the production process to the finished product, is studying the chemical, crystal, molecular and electronic structure (a structure and affects the mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties), watching how they conduct abrasion, corrosion and oxidation, trying to improve it and finally combine or develop materials suitable for each application of the current highly complex technology.
Metallurgy GEORGE ANGELOPOULOS - Undergraduate - (A-) Department of Chemical Engineering (DCE) of the Engineering School of the University of Patras, University of Patras The course is divided into 4 parts. One concerns the metallurgy of iron / steel and their alloys The second reffers to the surface metal working techniques and their industrial applications in combination with examples of their theoretical study. The third concerns the protective coatings of metals and of the reasons for their application, advantages and give the divisions and their suitability. The latter refers to the Thermal and thermochemical processing steel fluidised bed.
Chemical Reaction Engineering ATHANASIA TEKERLEKOPOULOU - Undergraduate - (A-) Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, University of Patras Thermodynamics of chemical reactions, Chemical equilibrium, Kinetics of chemical reactions, Analysis of chemical reaction systems, Batch reactor, Plug flow reactor, Continuous stirred tanks reactors, Reactor Combination, Heterogeneous catalytic Processes.
UNIT OPERATIONS I Christakis Paraskeva - Undergraduate - (A-) Chemical Engineering, University of Patras The course aims to familiarize students with the basic methods of separating various mixtures (gas-gas, gas-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, solid-solid) and learn methods of designing basic units of separation processes and ways calculations of mass and energy balances (emphasis in fractional distillation, absorption, and solid fluidized beds, filtration membranes (Ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis). Alongside the lesson is taught in the software HYSYS ASPEN Technology, for the design of integrated separation processes and the numerical solution of mass and energy balances.
