CHE 327 Heat and Mass Transfer Operations

Credit Structure: (4-0)4

Catalog description:
Molecular mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Fourier's law and Fick's law. Transport of heat and mass in one dimension by molecular mechanism and by convection. Transport of heat and mass in turbulent regime, analogies between heat and mass transfer. Heat transfer by radiation. Heat transfer to fluids with phase change. Evaporation. Heat exchanger design.

Course objectives:
To give the students basic principles of heat and mass transfer, namely, conduction, convection, radiation, mass diffusion and mass convection with emphasis on applications and design in heat transfer; abilities to function effectively within teams and to communicate effectively; a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; an awareness of the need for, and ability to engage life-long learning; an ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills and tools for engineering practice.
