Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide fundamental instruction on the principles of transport phenomena as applied to mass transfer, diffusion and its treatment in stagnant and flowing media, two phase systems, and coupled reaction and mass transfer.

Office hours: Monday 5:00-7:00pm

Teaching Assistant: there will be no teaching assistant for this course.

Course Objectives:

  1. Educate students to understand and been able to formulate and efficiently handle problems central to chemical industry related to mass transfer.
  2. Get a clear description of diffusion.
  3. Learn to couple heat and mass transfer with simultaneous consideration of chemical reactions.
