Course overview
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. Topics covered include the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation, as well as diffusive mass transfer. The design and analysis of heat and mass transfer operations is also introduced. This course aligns with the program’s intent to demonstrate a chemical engineering body of knowledge and to apply this knowledge along with critical thinking, creativity, and innovation to solve complex problems relevant to industrial and real-life applications in the process industries.
- Conduction & Diffusion
- Convection
- Heat Exchangers & Radiation
