[Course] CH485 [Title] HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER [Crdts] 3.5 [Department] Department of Chemistry & Life Science [Scope] 
This course includes the study of the mechanisms of energy and mass transport, with special emphasis on applications in chemical and biological systems. Coverage includes Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction, and Fick's Law of Diffusion, the development of shell energy and species balances, and the use of these equations to solve for temperature and concentration profiles in chemical engineering systems. An important emphasis in the course is the use of transport equations to understand species diffusion, convection, and chemical reaction in equipment design. This course includes completion of a comprehensive design problem. This design problem provides the opportunity for students to apply engineering science to the design of a comprehensive chemical engineering system.
