PEC-MTO 0015 Mass Transfer Operations

Course Description

This course is designed to introduce anyone to the fundamental principles, concepts, and engineering applications of mass transfer in various chemical and industrial processes. Mass transfer is a critical aspect of chemical engineering, and a comprehensive understanding of this topic is essential for designing and optimizing separation processes, chemical reactors, and other unit operations in the field.

Course Contents

Exploration of the Theoretical Foundations and Practical Applications of Heat Transfer Mechanisms, Including Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Focus on Heat Exchanger Design and Heat Transfer Involving Phase Transitions. Understanding Diffusion and Permeability, Mass Transfer Across Stagnant and Flowing Films, and the Concept of Equilibrium Stages. Estimation and Application of Overall Heat and Mass Transfer Coefficients in the Design of Process Equipment.

Who can get Benefits from this course?

A course on Mass Transfer Operations can benefit a wide range of individuals, particularly those in engineering, chemical engineering, or related fields. Here are some groups of people who can benefit from such a course: Chemical Engineering Students, Chemical Engineers, Process Engineers, Environmental Engineers, Energy Engineers, Chemists, Biomedical Engineers, and Professionals in Manufacturing and Quality Control. Overall, a course on Mass Transfer Operations is a valuable resource for those who want to understand how substances move and interact in various industrial and scientific processes, and it can open opportunities for a wide range of careers and applications.

The distance education program works as follows:


• Each course is 8 weeks in duration.
• You will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material via the internet. In addition, you will receive practice problems and assignments very similar to the associations past exams.
• A one-hour conference meeting session will be conducted by your instructor each week. The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments as well as answer student questions that should be sent to the instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition, by being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions answered as well.
• Each set of assignments must be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed assignment will be marked and returned by your instructor.
• Upon completion of the assignments, you will be sent a final exam. It is recommended that you try to simulate the actual exam conditions (i.e., no aids and a time limit) when writing it. You will then submit this final exam for review and marking.
