0309-330 - Mass Transfer Operations

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course covers the analysis and design of chemical processes for the separation and purifi cation of mixtures. The course will include an introduction to the fundamentals of diffusion and the analogies between heat and mass transfer, leading up to mass transfer coeffi cients and their use in solving a variety of engineering problems. Design methodologies will be examined for equilibrium based processes (such as absorption, distillation, extraction and crystallization) and rate-governing separations (such as dialysis and reverse osmosis). Fixed bed processes such as adsorption and ion exchange will also be introduced. (0309-230, 1016-306 or equivalent, and 1016-305 recommended) Class 4, Credit 4 (W)
