Description

An introduction to the physics of heat-transfer and mass-transfer that underpin process technologies. The course is taught using a first principles basis to explain the underpinning concepts relevant to heat and mass transfer, and to illustrate similarities and differences between these processes. Examples from every day situations, as well as chemical engineering applications, are used to clarify the concepts taught in class.

This course covers the following topics:

Heat Transfer (Term 3)
• Mechanisms of heat transfer
• Conduction
• Forced convection
• Natural convection

Mass Transfer (Term 4)
• Diffusion
• Forced convection
• Natural convection

Mathematical techniques are essential to this course, so within these topics we also examine solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
  • Demonstrate understanding of the fundamental principles of heat and mass transfer.
  • Identify and apply appropriate correlations to solve heat and mass transfer problems.
  • Compute the magnitude of rates of heat and mass transfer in everyday and common engineering situations.
  • Explain and be able to apply dimensional analysis to problems of heat and mass transfer.
  • Formulate and solve ordinary differential equations that describe heat and mass transfer problems.
  • Propose and test reasonable engineering approximations to simplify complex problems in heat and mass transfer.
