Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III-IV
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After the course the student has knowledge of the fundamental theory of the mass transfer and understands its essential physical and chemical phenomena and concepts. The student can apply the theory for analysis, and modelling of various mass transfer processes and phenomena in technology and nature.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Fundamentals of diffusion in gas phase, liquid phase and in porous materials. Stefan flow and Knudsen's diffusion in micropores. Differential equations of mass transfer. Derivation of general analogy between heat and mass transfer. Forced and natural convection mass transfer. Membrane transport. Applications to heat recovery, cooling systems, drying and separation with membranes.
