MASS AND HEAT TRANSFER
This book allows instructors to teach a course on heat and mass transfer that will equip
students with the pragmatic, applied skills required by the modern chemical industry. This
new approach is bined presentation of heat and mass transfer, maintaining mathe-
matical rigor while keeping mathematical analysis to a minimum. This allows students to
develop a strong conceptual understanding and teaches them how to e proficient
in engineering analysis of mass contactors and heat exchangers and the transport theory
used as a basis for determining how the critical coefficients depend on physical properties
and fluid motions.
Students will first study the engineering analysis and design of equipment important
in experiments and for the processing of material at mercial scale. The second
part of the book presents the fundamentals of transport phenomena relevant to these
applications. plete teaching package includes prehensive instructor’s guide,
exercises, design case studies, and project assignments.
