This course introduces the principles and empirical modeling of heat and mass transfer. Key topics include conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer, Fourier’s law, heat transfer coefficients, heat exchanger calculations, molecular diffusion, Fick’s law, convective mass transfer, and mass transfer coefficients. Additional concepts such as boundary layers and their role in transport phenomena are also covered.

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental physical transformation processes central to chemical engineering practice. Topics include the design, analysis, and operation of essential unit operations such as distillation, gas absorption, liquid-liquid extraction, evaporation, and membrane separations. Emphasis is placed on material and energy balances, transport phenomena, phase equilibria, equilibrium-stage operations, and the design of packed and tray towers.
