About this Unit

In Process Mass Transfer, students will learn the fundamental theory and introductory practical applications of separation processes. The fundamental theory they will study includes molecular diffusion, convective mass transfer, interphase mass transfer, the two-film model, film and overall mass transfer coefficients and vapour-liquid equilibrium. Mass transfer theory is used to design and analyse unit operations for separation processes. These include flash and continuous distillation, gas absorption and stripping, solvent extraction, solid leaching and humidification. The methods used to study the unit operations are material balances for stage and continuous contact processes, McCabe-Thiele design methods, and packed tower design.
