Course Objectives To provide students the basic concepts of phase-equilibrium and rate-based mass transport as applied to separations.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Design single stage and multistage equilibrium chemical processes - product recovery, purity and separation power, azeotropic systems, flash calculations, multicomponent systems, cascades and degree of freedom analysis.
  • Describe thermodynamic and mass transfer principles- ideal gas, ideal liquid solutions, PVT models for non-ideal property models, activity coefficient models for liquid phase, molecular diffusion and diffusion coefficients, diffusion in laminar and turbulent flow, mass transfer at fluid-fluid interface and overall mass transfer coefficients.
  • Design absorption, distillation, and liquid extraction processes.
  • Design parameters in separation techniques.
Course Content Mass transfer operations, binary distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, multicomponent separations, absorption, supercritical extraction, membrane separations, fluid-solid separations, adsorption.
