Outline and Purpose of the Course To acquire basic knowledge about rational design and operation of food manufacturing processes, this is a brief lecture on the basics of units, dimensions, mass balance, solid-liquid separation, mass transfer, diffusion, gas absorption, flow and rheology.
Course Goals Acquire basic physicochemical knowledge about the production of foods and treat phenomena quantitatively.
Schedule and Contents ①Units, dimensions, and material balance
②Water science (1): structure, water activity, water sorption and adsorption isotherms
③Water Science (2): Amorphous solid, glass transition, thermal analysis
④Phase equilibrium (1): Phase transfer, phase rules
⑤Phase equilibrium (2): Thermal dynamics of mixtures, phase diagrams
⑥Equilibrium separation (1): Vapor-liquid equilibrium and distillation
⑦Equilibrium separation (2): Distribution equilibrium and extraction
⑧Solid liquid separation (1): Particle diameters and distribution
⑨Solid liquid separation (2): Stokes diameter / centrifuge / filtration separation
⑩Diffusion (1): Mass transfer and diffusion theory, Fick's law
⑪Diffusion (2): Gas absorption, Henry's law
⑫Diffusion (3): Double film theory, mass transfer coefficient
⑬Flow and rheology I(1): Bernoulli's Law, Hagen-Poiseuille's law
⑭Flow and Rheology I(2): Newton's viscosity law (Newtonian fluid, non-Newtonian fluid)

Evaluation Methods and Policy [Evaluation method]
Evaluation is based on the final examination grade (85%) and the submitted tasks (15%) for every three or four classes. No credits will be awarded if a student is absent for four classes or more.

[Evaluation criteria]
Evaluation standards and policies are based on those described in the Faculty of Agriculture Handbook for the relevant year.
Course Requirements It is desirable to have completed Food Physics Chemistry I and II.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Review the contents of lectures, and prepare for the following week as instructed during class.
