CL3021 - Mass Transfer Operations
| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2011 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: | School of Engineering |
Available to level 3 chemical engineering students.
Transport phenomena approach to mass transfer. Interphase mass transfer. General principles of mass transfer operations in stagewise and continuous contact equipment. Mass transfer effects in separation and reaction systems. Binary distillation, evaporation, gas absorption combined heat and mass transfer in devices such as water cooling towers and dryers, ternary diagrams, liquid-liquid extraction and multicomponent equilibrium and distillation.
Learning Outcomes
- to apply this knowledge to the design of industrial processes involving mass transfer (e.g. distillation towers, cooling towers, liquid-liquid extraction systems, etc.);
- to provide students with knowledge of the basic processes of mass transfer.
