Basic knowledge of elasticity and strength, material science, machine components.

Marked credits are awarded on the basis of written essay (including simple design calculation of wall thiskness) and oral discussion (colloquium).

The aim is to explain problems of design and construction of pressure tanks and vessels and to teach practical applications. Explanation of differences in construction of processing lines and standard constructions, especially from the point of view of safety.
Students will be oriented in calculation and design of pressure vessels and pipes using the membrain theory, they will have the basic information about special materials for pharmacy and biotchnological industry icluding some material degradation (environment affecting on materials).
