CHEM ENG 2014 - Heat and Mass Transfer

In this course the theories and applications of heat and mass transfer will be introduced. The course will equip the participant with the knowledge and skills required to solve problems for the design, assessment, and analysis of heat and mass transfer processes. Presentation of the course follows separate discussions on the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. The design and analysis of heat exchanger will be covered. Mass transfer is introduced by drawing parallels between heat and mass transfer. The types of problems solved in the course focus on industrial and real-life applications in the process industries. The approaches introduced to solve problems include analytical solutions, use of numerical methods and empirical approaches based on experimental data.
