SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION

a. Course Description
This course discusses the application of heat transfer and mass transfer to the design of equipment
employing heat exchange, mass exchange and simultaneous heat and mass exchange. Focus is on
calculations in the design of heat exchangers, evaporators, packed columns and
humidification/dehumidification equipment. Students are expected to demonstrate their
understanding of heat and mass transfer by solving related problems.
b. Prerequisites
Co-requisites

SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE COURSE
a. Course Objective
The students are expected to identify the principles involved in different heat, mass and

simultaneous heat and mass transfer and to suggest appropriate equipment or equipment system to
effect a given process or operation.
b. Course Outcomes
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
1) Explain the principles and practical calculation methods of different heat and mass transfer
operations;
2) Apply the principles of material and energy balances to the analysis and design of simple
operations involved heat and mass transfer;
3) Perform simple calculations in the design of heat exchangers, evaporators, crystallizers,
packed columns and humidification / dehumidification equipment; and
4) Reflect on personal transformations along the TIP Graduates Attributes.
c. Student Outcomes Addressed by the Course
a. apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve complex engineering
problems
b. identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems
