Assessment of data quality. Principles of total quality management. The analysis and design of heat and mass transfer operations coupled with associated fluid mechanics. Fundamental concepts are derived and applied to representative industrial process configurations. Subject area coverage includes conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, evaporation, distillation, extraction, filtration, flow through porous media, absorption, fluidization, and fluid flow.
Emphasis is placed on the underlying transport processes.
Basic concepts in physical and chemical equilibria. Systems of variable composition. Chemical reaction equilibria. Thermodynamic analysis of processes. Principles of statistical mechanics.
