FPEN 603: Fluid Flow, Heat and Mass Transfer

This course will explore the applications of transport processes – momentum, heat and mass transfers in food process engineering. The topics to be covered will include Flow of liquids in pipes and open channels, flow of compressible fluids, flow of multiphase mixtures, liquid mixing, pumping of fluids, Heat and mass transfer in duct flow – laminar pipe flow and turbulent flow. Design and analysis of heat exchangers, Boiling and condensation, Diffusion in binary systems (liquids and gases), mass transfer across a phase boundary, applications of mass and heat transfer in humidification and water cooling.
