TEXT:

 

The required text is “Transport Phenomena and Unit Operations: A Combined Approach”, by Richard G. Griskey, John Wiley and Sons, 2006.   

 

The material contained in this book is also covered in many other Transport Phenomena, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Mass Transfer texts.  Several alternative texts have been placed on reserve in the library and are listed at the end of this handout.  

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 

Transport phenomena involves the use of fundamental chemical engineering principles to solve problems in “momentum”, “heat” and “mass” transfer. The strong similarities between the balances and calculation techniques used in these areas will allow for the development of a greater understanding of individual processes. In this course we will use fundamental mathematics and shell balances to solve a variety of problems in these three areas.  Emphasis will be on microscopic evaluation of physical processes.

      

Specifically, following the completion of this course, the student should be able to:

 

·      Define a Newtonian fluid, including the fundamental laws that govern Newtonian fluid behavior.

·      Perform shell momentum balances for a variety of geometries.

·      Simplify the equations of motion for a given situation.

·      Describe the basic modes of heat transfer.

·      Evaluate the temperature profiles for a variety of geometries and physical situations.

·      Define diffusivity.

·      Evaluate mass transfer rates using Fick’s Law of Diffusion.

·      Perform microscopic mass balances for a variety of geometries.

·      Evaluate concentration profiles in the presence of a chemical reaction, with and without a catalyst.

·      Discuss mass transfer coefficient

·      Discuss analogies between heat, mass and momentum transfer.

 

OUTLINE:

 

The topics to be discussed will be:

 

Introduction

Viscosity

Shell momentum balances

Equations of motion and applications

Mechanisms of heat transfer

Heat transfer equations and applications

Diffusivity

Mass transfer equations and applications

Mass transfer coefficient

 

MIDTERM:

 

There will be one midterm.  It is temporarily set to be held on Thursday October 30, 2014 during the lecture time at 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.

 

ASSIGNMENTS:

 

Assignments will be given regularly and should be handed in by each student individually. No group assignments will be accepted. They are due in the assignment box on the 4th floor of the CBY building.  The assignments will be picked up from the box at 4:00 p.m. on the due date. Late assignments will be penalized, 50 % for the first late day.  Assignments handed in more than 2 days late will not count towards your mark.  Assignments will be graded and returned promptly.  Solutions will be posted.

 

QUIZZES:

 

There will be quizzes during tutorial periods throughout the term on an on-going basis.

 

GRADING:

 

The course will be graded as follows:

·      Assignments             5%

·      Quizzes                   10%

·      Midterm                 25%

·      Final exam              60%

 

The midterm and final exams will be open textbook.

 

Class attendance is mandatory. As per academic regulations, students who do not attend 80% of the class (including lectures and tutorials) will not be allowed to write the final examination.

 

All requirements of the course (assignments, quizzes, midterm, final exam, attendance in lectures and tutorials) must be fulfilled otherwise you may receive an INC as a final mark (equivalent to an F).

 

 

ACADEMIC ETHICS:

 

The work that you hand in should be your own.  You are encouraged to help one another or to seek out the professor or the TA for help with the assignments if necessary, but direct copying of solutions from another student is not acceptable.  The assignments are given for your benefit, to help you learn the course material.  Take advantage of that.  A copy of the University policy on academic fraud is found in the following website:
