This subject is the second of the two in which the matter is divided experimentation in chemical engineering. Its study is fundamental, since given its eminent practical character, the student has the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge previously acquired in other subjects, as well as integrate and use them jointly.
It also acquires skills in the management of equipment characteristic of the profession, especially in those designed on a pilot scale, a specific feature of this laboratory.
The implantation of this subject in the fourth course of the degree in chemical engineering assumes that the previous theoretical knowledge required in the same (mainly mass and energy balances, heat transmission and flow of fluids) have already been developed.
