AbstractPart of this course is to teach basics in thermal food processing like steady/unsteady, convective/conductive heat transfer. Moreover, methods for choosing correct heat exchanger as presented as well as the process of cooling and drying in food industry under the view point of thermal processing.

Lecture and exercises
ObjectiveAim of this course is to connect thermal processing basics with industrial applications like heating, cooling or drying.
ContentThermal processing: Heat exchangers, heat flux, conductive and convective heating, boiling and evaporation, cooling and refrigerating, drying, drying kinetics

AbstractThe lab course will offer hands on experience in basic process unit operations, and deepen the knowledge from Food Process Engineering I-III, and apply it in practice.
ObjectiveThe knowledge of the course food process engineering I, II and III can be used in practical work and experiments can be done without assistance.
ContentFocus of the lab course: filtration, agglomeration, drying, heat exchanger, dispersing, pumps, scale-up, refrigeration technique.
Lecture notesDie Skripte und Richtlinien werden online zur Verfügung gestellt und sind vor jedem Praktikum zu lesen und zu verstehen.
Prerequisites / NoticeDie Vorlesung Lebensmittel-Verfahrenstechnik I stellt eine Grundlage dar und muss vorher besucht worden sein. Lebensmittel-Verfahrenstechnik II und z.T. III werden empfohlen sind aber nicht zwingende Voraussetzung. Es sollte technisches und physikalisches Wissen aus anderen Vorlesungen mitgebracht werden.
