The Energy, Flow and Process Technology (EFPT) master’s track provides students with
the theoretical knowledge, numerical and experimental skills, and practical experience
they need to develop the next generation of energy and process technologies. EFPT
students acquire expertise in the fundamentals (thermodynamics and fluid dynamics)
and the technologies (energy production and storage, process intensification and
multiphase systems) needed to enable the upcoming energy transition.
Process Technology
Process Technology faces tremendous chal-
lenges related to the shrinking availability of
solving various practical problems. Associated
research activities at TU Delft concern the
application of numerical tools to fluid mecha-

The Process Technology of the future must
