Chemical engineering - KAGR7M08

Goal(s)

Provide the means and tools to size an installation and ensure its safety. This course aims to provide the tools for calculating the sizing of installations linked to industrial processes in the chemical industry (sizing of pipes, calculation of pressure losses, pumps, reactors, etc.)
