CHE 5014D - Chemical Engineering Mass Transfer and Separations


Fundamental principles of mass transfer. Diffusivities, mass transfer coefficients, stage-wise and continuous-contact unit operations. Specifically absorption, distillation, and extraction will be covered.

Requisites:
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 recitation
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students should be able to collect and analyze lab data for a gas adsorption experiment including evaluating the overall mass-transfer coefficient.
  • Students should be able to communicate effectively in written and graphical form by completing project reports.
  • Students should be able to complete the basic calculations for equilibrium staged separation devices.
  • Students should be able to formulate mass-transfer equations for several typical conditions.
  • Students should be able to function effectively on a project team.
  • Students should be able to identify separation operations in a chemical process, including but not limited to distillation, absorption, stripping, extraction, and leaching.
  • Students should be able to perform relevant calculations for each of these mechanisms outlined above.
  • Students should be able to utilize a process simulator to evaluate a separation design.
