Objectives of the Course
The objective of the course is to give the principles and calculation methods of important food engineering operations, containing heat and mass transfer applications, such as distillation, gas absorption, solid-liquid extraction, evaporation, crystallization, humidification and drying; to give the area of application of this operations in food industry, the information about the equipments used; to carry the students to a level that they can manage the process and equipment design. It is tried to provide consciousness about ethic by informing the students about engineering ethics.
