CBE 120C - Mass Transfer

Course Overview

Molecular and continuum approaches to diffusion and convection in multi-component mixtures; steady state, quasi-steady state and transient mass transfer; effect of reactions on mass transfer; convective mass transfer; simultaneous mass, heat and momentum transfer; applications to chemical and related industries.

Course Tips

Topics from previous classes will reappear, such as thermodynamics diagrams, so reviewing is essential.

Study Strategies

Exams are challenging. Do not memorize equations. Instead, practice twisting and altering your homework problems to truly test your understanding. Practice identifying the driving force for mass transfer before choosing an equation. 

Other Advice

Attend office hours whenever you are lost. Group similar topics together so your equations stay organized and easy to review.
