Heat and Mass – Conservation and Transfer

This course extends the concepts of the conservation and transport of heat and mass and thermodynamics in processing systems, the material and system properties that affect these processes and the sourcing or prediction of appropriate material and system data. Unit operations in food or chemical processing industries will be used to demonstrate the application of these principles. A practical course.

Course code

Qualifications are made up of courses. Some universities call these papers. Each course is numbered using six digits.

280271

Level

The fourth number of the course code shows the level of the course. For example, in course 219206, the fourth number is a 2, so it is a 200-level course (usually studied in the second year of full-time study).

200-level

Credits

Each course is worth a number of credits. You combine courses (credits) to meet the total number of credits needed for your qualification.

Learning outcomes

What you will learn. Knowledge, skills and attitudes you’ll be able to show as a result of successfully finishing this course.

  • 1 Use the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, mass conservation and transfer in unit operations to solve heat and mass transfer problems.
  • 2 Determine thermo/physical properties, heat and mass transfer coefficients, and psychometric data from appropriate sources including tabulated and graphical resources, and prediction/estimation equations.
  • 3 Apply dimensional analysis to show relationships between heat and mass transfer coefficients and processing conditions.
  • 4 Apply engineering principles to the collection, validation, analysis and interpretation of real pilot-plant scale experimental data.
  • 5 Evaluate and make recommendations about engineering applications on the basis of technical analysis.

Learning outcomes can change before the start of the semester you are studying the course in.
