Heat and mass transfer

What it covers

• 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.
