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.
