Brief Overview of the Course:

Mass transfer: Fick's law, diffusion in stationary media, additivity of resistances, diffusion
of
vapours. Convention: Principles of free and forced convection. Determinations of film
transfer
coefficients. Heat exchanger design. General diffusion and convection equations NavierStokes
equation, problems formation and solution.
Radiation: Mechanism of radiative heat transfer, shape factors, heat exchange between
radiating surface, is radiating networks. Boiling and Condensation: Different phase of
boiling,
heat transfer coefficient, condensation number, and boiler design.

Course Objectives/Goals:
The main aim of the course is to enable our students be able to design any time
of heat exchanger, and to understand the various forms of heat and mass transfer
with appropriate equations.

Ground rules and Regulations:

Students must read their handwritten notes before the next lecture
Lateness to lectures not condoned
Dosing in class automatically leads to standing up through the lecture period.
Weak students are encouraged to seek help from bright students.
Only students that are physically present for each lecture will sign the attendant
sheet.

Topics for Term papers/Assignments/Students activities:

Assignments by way of further reading on some selected topics to help students
understanding of the course is encouraged.

Alignment with CovenantUniversity Vision/Goals: To train and graduate

students to be highly competitive and relevant at the local and global levels.
Contemporary issues/industry Relevance
The course is relevant as it will allow students to be competent in the design of
heat transfer equipments. Their understanding of heat and mass transfer will be of
great advantage in their final year courses..
