Lectures

Goal

Acquiring the necessary knowledge to understand the transport phenomena of heat and mass transfer in the process industry. Application of steady and unsteady heat and mass transfer in phases (two or more component fluids) in process equipment.

Outcome

The understanding of fundamentals of heat and mass transfer processes accompanied with multi-phase fluid flow. Estimation procedures for the intensity of heat and mass transport and pressure drop in chemical engineering.

Theoretical teaching

Molecular transport phenomena. Newtons law of fluid friction, Fouriers law of heat conduction, Ficks law of molecular diffusion. Steady and unsteady state heat and mass transfer in fluids. Differential equations of of momentum, heat and mass convective transport. Laminar and turbulent flow. Simplified models of convective transport. Analysis of heat and mass transfer resistances.Coefficients of Heat and mass transfer. Similarity theory. Analogies between mass, heat and momentum transfer. Mass transfer across a phase boundary. Inter-phase turbulence. Simultaneous mass and heat transfer. Wet-bulb temperatures. Boiling, condensation and thermal radiation. Typical cases in process equipment (heat exchangers, columns, furnaces). Unsteady heat and mass transfer in solid phase. Heat radiation.

Practical teaching

Examples of steady and unsteady state molecular transport in fluids and solids Examples of convective transfer. Examples of application of the similarity theory - criterial equations Examples of heat and mass transfer across a phase boundary. Examples of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Laboratory: Wet-bulb temperature, coefficient of molecular diffusion Examples of heat transfer with phase change: boiling, condensation Examples of thermal radiation. Examples of the unsteady heat and mass transfer in solid phase. Examples of heat radiation.
