Description
This training course aims to introduce the definitions and the types of mass transfer and their applications in the chemical industry, and mass transfer models (diffusion, convection and Fick's law). The course includes using shell balance on micro-scale to evaluate the processes.
Outline
- Definitions: mass transfer, diffusion, diffusivity, binary system, Fick's law and other related terms.
- Introduction to mass transfer in rectangular systems (shell balance).
- Introduction to mass transfer in tubular and spherical systems (shell balance).
- Mass transfer applications in the chemical industry.
- Numerical analysis of some case studies.
