Heat and Mass transfer (Transport Phenomena)

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. enumerate the modes of heat transfer and their applications; 2. apply heat and mass transfer principles to steady-state and, unsteady-state processes; 3. determine overall transfer coefficient; 4. apply heat and mass transfer principles to heat exchangers, conductors and dryer; and 5. differentiate between heat, mass and momentum.
