COURSE AIM
The aim of the course is to present the basic theories and concepts for heat and mass transfer as well as to enable the student to choose and dimension equipment for use in chemical process operations. It is also the purpose of the course to describe the function of this equipment.

CONTENTS
Heat transfer: Introduction to heat balances, overall heat transfer and film coefficients, free and forced convection. Heat exchanging: Basic design and theory, construction detalis, mean temperature difference, equations for counter and parallel flow, the relation between transferred effect and heat transfer area as well as heat transfer area and coolant flow. Mass transfer: Description of different mass transfer operations, diffusion processes and stepwise equilibriums. Evaporation: Description of the construction and operational modes of different evaporators, calculation and dimensioning of evaporators, multiple effect evaporation, steam and thermo compression. Material balances: Total and component balances. Distillation: Apparatus for distillation, equilibrium conditions, non-ideal systems, MsCabe-Thieles method, cost aspects. Absorption: Apparatus for absorption, equilibrium conditions, working line, two-film theory.

TEACHING
The course is presented in the form of lectures, a tutorial and laboratory exercises. The tutorials and the laboratory excercises are compulsory.

EXAMINATION
Approved laboratory reports, tutorials and an approved written examination with differentiated grades. Evaluation of the written examination is performed according to Alternative A as described in "Regler för tentamen."
COURSE GRADE SCALE: U,3,4,5
