CENG 2110 - Material and Energy Balances
Course Objectives
This course is designed to give students a quantitative understanding of the mechanism of mass and heat transfer in physical situations of importance to chemists and chemical engineers. This is accomplished by the analysis of experiments, mathematical modeling, and comparison of model behavior with experimental results. The verified models are used to illustrate:
-
The design and operation of process equipment at the lab, pilot and commercial scale
-
The analogies between heat, mass and momentum transport
-
The analysis, prediction of behavior, and control of living organisms and the natural environment
Specific goals for the course
Students will be able to perform...
-
Basic engineering calculations
-
Material and energy balance calculations
-
Basic applied physical chemistry
-
Computation.
-
Teamwork.
CENG 3390 - Transport Phenomenon II - Heat and Mass
Course Objectives
This course is designed to give students a quantitative understanding of the mechanism of mass and heat transfer in physical situations of importance to chemists and chemical engineers. This is accomplished by the analysis of experiments, mathematical modeling, and comparison of model behavior with experimental results. The verified models are used to illustrate:
• The design and operation of process equipment at the lab, pilot and commercial scale
• The analogies between heat, mass and momentum transport
Specific goals for the course
Students will be able to...
• perform phenomenological analyses of heat and mass transport equipment
• relate macroscopic transport coefficients to microscopic phenomena based on Fourier’s and Fick’s laws
• design experiments to estimate heat and mass transport coefficients for the design of process equipment.
