CHE 716 Transport Phenomena II
 

 

This course considers various topics in mass transfer. 3 credit hours.
 
       

Prerequisite
  The student should have a good understanding of undergraduate transport concepts, especially fluid mechanics and mass transfer.

 

Course Objectives
A student successfully completing CHE 716 should be able to:

• Teach an undergraduate level mass transfer course. This learning objective requires a complete mastery of undergraduate level concepts in diffusive and convective mass transfer. This ability will be developed via selected homework problems and classroom discussions. This will be tested via three closed book quizzes throughout the semester.

• Display some aptitude for solving tough, open-ended problems of both engineering and scientific relevance. This learning objective will be developed via selected homework problems and classroom discussions. This ability will be tested via a take home term exam during the semester and a take home final exam.

   
Course Outline
  • Why Study Mass Transfer
• Molecular Diffusion
• Steady-State Diffusion
• Interphase Mass Transfer
• Steady-State Convection
• Transient Mass Transfer
• Dispersion
• Filtration Theory
• Boundary Layer Theory
• Turbulence
   
Course Requirements
 

Homework: Regular homework will usually be assigned each Wednesday and will typically be due on Friday of the following week. Distance students must submit the homework via mail with the postmark listed as the required due date. Homework sets will typically consist of 3-4 assigned problems that are to be turned in for grading. Although homework grades are not explicitly accounted for in the course grade determination, they can put you over the top if you happen to lie on a grading borderline. You should expect to complete approximately 10 homework sets during the semester.

Examinations: Three closed book quizzes (75 minutes in length) and two take home exams.

Software Requirements: MATLAB™ or MAPLE™

Projects: None

   
Computer and Internet Requirements
 

NCSU has recommended minimum specifications for computers used for classes. Depending on your computer needs, we recommend your computer meet or exceed the following minimum specifications below.

PCs must have an Intel-compatible 800 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 8 GB hard drive with 1 GB free space available, 256 Color Display, CD-ROM drive, 800x600 (min.) video adapter, sound card, and speakers.

Registration
 

All students must register through the Engineering Online registration site at http://www.ncsu.edu/project/engonline/index.php. You do not have to be admitted to a degree program to enroll in an online course. However, you must have completed a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related area from an accredited institution. Full-time, employed individuals are limited to enrollment in two graduate courses for each semester. On-campus degree seeking students must have approval from their Director of Graduate Programs to register for an Engineering Online course.
