CHE 3600 - Chemical Engineering Mass Transfer and Separations


Fundamental principles of mass transfer. Diffusivities, mass transfer coefficients, stage-wise and continuous-contact unit operations. Specifically absorption, distillation, and extraction will be covered.

Requisites: CHE 3210 and 3500
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 recitation
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to apply mass and energy balances to common separation operations.
  • Students will be able to apply the equations for diffusion mass transfer to situations with diffusion through a stagnant gas or equimolar counterdiffusion.
  • Students will be able to calculate mass transfer coefficients appropriate for a given situation.
  • Students will be able to calculate the appropriate mass transfer driving force for a given situation.
  • Students will be able to complete calculations and graphical analysis for common equilibrium staged processes such as distillation, absorption, desorption, and extraction.
