Unit IV
BASICS OF MASS TRANSFER Diffusion-Fick’s law of diffusion. Types of diffusion. Steady state molecular diffusion in fluids at rest and laminar flow (stagnant / unidirection and bi direction). Measurement of diffusivity, Mass transfer coefficients and their correlations. Conceptual numerical.
Unit V
MASS TRANSFER OPERATIONS Basic concepts of Liquid-liquid extraction – equilibrium, stage type extractors (belt extraction and basket extraction).Distillation – Methods of distillation, distillation of binary mixtures using McCabe Thiele method.Drying- drying operations, batch and continuous drying. Conceptual numerical.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
