Learning Outcomes
Τhe students upon successful completion of the course: (1) They will be able to solve basic problems in chemical engineering, where mass transger is important role to play. (2)They will be able to calculate concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere, river, lakes and ground waters. (3) They will learn to design fixed bed adsorbers and membrane units for gas separations using simplified methods. (4) The will study and learn to design simple controlled release systems.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Make decisions
  • Respect natural environment
  • Be critical and self-critical
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Introduction. Basic priciples and definitions. Differential equations describing mass tranport. Common boundary condtions. Phenomenological theory of molecular theory and Fick's first and second law. Concentration distributions in solids and static fluids. Steady and transent molecular diffusion. Analytic solutions for model problems. Diffusion with homogeneuos and heterogeneous reactions. Effect of mass transfer on reaction. Diffusion in porous solids: Molecular diffusion, Knudsen diffusion and viscous flow. Application in separation methods using membranes and adsorbents. Convective mass transfer. Effect of Reynolds and Peclet numbers. Determination of concentation of pollutants using dispersion models. Dispersion of pollutnats, in rivers and lakes. Controlled release systems.
