Course description and aims

In this course, students learn how to analyze mass transfer phenomena, which are indispensable for the optimization of operating conditions and the design of chemical processes and systems.
Based on the fundamental equations of mass transfer and diffusion, theoretical analytical models for transfer phenomena involving diffusion, flow, and chemical reactions will be understood, and solutions for each theoretical analysis will be lectured and practiced. Students will also understand the relationship between mass transfer coefficients and boundary layer theory, and learn and practice how to solve the theoretical analysis of mass transfer at interfaces.

Student learning outcomes

The target of this course is for students to acquire the ability to theoretically analyze mass transfer phenomena including diffusion, flow (convection), chemical reactions, and interfaces (boundary layers), and to solve problems related to mass transfer when optimizing operating conditions and designing chemical processes and systems.

Keywords

mass transfer, diffusion, boundary layer

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The class will follow the slides uploaded to T2SCHOLA. During class, students will be asked to work on exercises related to the content of that day's lecture. Before coming to the class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Molecular diffusion To explain the fundamentals of the diffusion equation.
Class 2 Molecular diffusion and mass transfer To analyze unsteady diffusion in stationary fluid.
Class 3 Mass transfer of convection flow in one dimension To analyze mass transfer of convection flow in one dimension.
Class 4 Mass transfer with chemical reactions To explain and analyze mass transfer with chemical reactions.
Class 5 Mass transfer coefficient and boundary layer theory To explain the relationship between mass transfer coefficient and boundary layer theory.
Class 6 Mass transfer at interfaces To analyze mass transfer at interfaces.
Class 7 Examination To analyze mass transfer in chemical processes.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None required.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Materials for the class will be uploaded to T2SCHOLA in advance.

Assessment criteria and methods

Students will be evaluated on their understanding of fundamental equations for mass transfer diffusion, boundary layer theory, and mass transfer analysis in chemical processes. Grades will be based on exercises in classes, homework, and the final exam.
