ChE 101C Syllabus PDF

This course outline summarizes the topics to be covered in CH ENGR 101C: Mass Transfer during the Spring 2016 semester. The course will cover fundamental concepts of mass transfer including diffusion, mass flux relationships, estimation of diffusion coefficients in various materials, mass conservation equations, and diffusion through stagnant films. It will also cover more advanced topics such as spatial and unsteady diffusion, dispersion, coupling of hydrodynamics and mass transfer, mass transfer in turbulent flows, convective mass transfer coefficients, mass transfer across phase boundaries, and coupled heat and mass transfer. The course will include three term tests to evaluate student progress and mastery of the material.
