CONDITIONS FOR OBTAINING A SIGNATURE:
Attendance at at least 75% of lectures and 75% of exercises.

TEACHING METHODS:
Classroom for lectures and project assignments.

METHOD OF EXAMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXAMINATION:
Partial test (2 related to lectures and 1 related to the exercises). Alternatively a written and an oral exam

METHOD OF MONITORING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF COURSES:
Student survey

1. Connect the influence of temperature difference as a heat transfer driving force and wnd law of thermodynamics to heat exchanger network design with the goal of optimal thermal energy utilization in a process.
