Food Engineering

Name:
Food Engineering
Detailed information:
Application of engineering principles to the design of equipment for large-scale food processing, e.g., automatic harvesting devices, dryers of various types, crystallizers, ovens and heat exchangers, comminuting and mixing equipment, distillation units, packaging machines. Food engineering requires an understanding of thermodynamics, conditions of state and equilibrium, rate processes, and transport phenomena. The unit operations of chemical engineering and basic physics and mechanics are also involved.
