Archived: Fluid Transfer and Liquid Mixing Short Course
A virtual course delivered by Britest Ltd in conjunction with Scientific Update
Date: 26 June - 26 June 2023
Location: Online Platform
Tutors: Mr Robert Peeling
This online short course looks into why understanding the movement of fluids is one of the keys to the successful commercialisation of innovative chemistry. Rob Peeling will introduce you to what scientists need to know. The course will take place via an online platform on:
Monday 26th June – 2.00pm – 5.00pm BST (British Summer Time)
Covering the following topics;
Fluid transfer systems
| Liquid mixing
|
The module course has been developed, and is presented, by chemical engineers and chemists who specialise in facilitating knowledge transfer and understanding between different scientific and engineering disciplines working at the R&D-manufacturing interface. They do not dwell on the derivation of mathematical formulae or equations used in chemical engineering design, but instead focuses on what other disciplines need to know about the information and data that chemical engineers require for design, scale-up and process troubleshooting. This will be delivered on the following date via an online platform:

Chemical engineering without mathematics is impossible, but only relevant mathematics is presented at a level that should not trouble anyone with a numerate scientific degree. Other disciplines do not need to know how to design plants or equipment and the modules do not attempt to teach this. They focus on understanding chemical engineering principles to promote clear communication between disciplines, facilitating information and knowledge transfer.

Module Outline
Module Outline
Based on the well-received face-to-face Chemical Engineering course, these modules have been structured to provide flexibility in a virtual training environment. Interactivity is retained by enabling participants to split out into virtual break-out rooms to work on examples that help cement understanding of the material presented. Each module duration will be 3 hours.
Module 1: Fluid Transfer and Liquid Mixing
Module Objectives
- Chemists, biologists and engineers regularly interact and collaborate in process R&D projects. For effective team working they should each understand the needs and objectives of the other disciplines.
- These modules give scientists and other engineering disciplines an introduction to some key aspects of the application of chemical engineering science to…
- 1) Fluid transfer and liquid mixing
- 2) Mass transfer applications
- 3) Heat transfer equipment and Drying
- The objective is to enable delegates to be aware of the impact of chemical engineering principles on successful scale-up and process problem solving. The principle aim is that delegates will be able to discuss chemical engineering issues affecting their processes and relate them to their own areas of expertise.
What's Included
The course fee includes:
- one module

2018 Delegate
Course topic was very interesting and definitely made me reconsider how to think or consider things from now on. Also will help me to understand my colleagues and their views better.
2018 Delegate
Very good course, covering important fundamentals of chem engineering and relates them to practical applications useful as introduction to subject, as well as a refresher.
