Heat and mass transfer
CHE2163
Synopsis
- Introduce fundamentals and applications of heat and mass transfer.
- Develop an understanding of the mechanisms and mathematical representation of conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer and convective mass transfer.
- Gain an appreciation for the analogies between heat and mass transfer using dimensional analysis.
- Understand and apply concepts of local and overall heat and mass transfer coefficients.
- Calculation of overall heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer area using Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) and Number of Transfer Unit (NTU) method.
- Gain an understanding of molecular diffusion in gases, solids, and liquids, and convective mass transfer between two fluids in contact, and develop methods to use these concepts in problem solving.
- Perform experiments to illustrate the concepts of heat and mass transfer.
