• ChEE 6560 / 8560

  3 credit hours
   

  The objectives of this course will be to :

  • help you develop and understanding of the physical aspects of heat and mass transfer

  • present the derivation of the equations of change, the assumptions involved, and the limitations

  • investigate methods for getting an analytical solution to some problems

  • provide you with the ‘tools’ you need to apply the material to your research or to future problems you encounter

• Material Covered in Course

  The material will come from Slattery and “Transport Phenomena” by Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot.

 Heat transfer

• conductive, convective and radiative mechanism of transfer

• shell balance approach

• development of the thermal energy balance

• solution procedures for partial differential equations

• combined momentum and energy transport

• application of boundary layer theory

• macroscopic balances for nonisothermal systems

• radiation transfer

Mass transfer

• mechanisms of mass transfer

• mass transfer in solids and laminar films

• development of the equations for multicomponent systems

• interphase transport in nonisothermal mixtures

 

• Who Teaches It ?

  Dr. M.R. Cameron will be the instructor for the Spring 2007 semester.
