ChE 370 Heat and Mass Transfer
Prerequisites: Math 222 Differential Equations; ChE 232-Thermodynamics I; ChE
260 Fluid Flow
The course will cover the fundamental principles of heat and mass transfer as they
apply to basic chemical engineering systems. Heat transfer processes (conduction,
convection, and radiation) will be examined in various steady and unsteady state
systems with emphasis on design of shell and tube heat exchangers. The
fundamental principles of mass transfer by steady and unsteady state molecular
diffusion will be examined in stagnant fluids and under laminar flow conditions.
Convective mass transfer under turbulent flow conditions will also be studied.

If two bodies (or media) at different temperatures are brought together, energy is
transferred i.e.,
heat flows from the hotter body to the colder one.

The quantity of energy necessary to raise the temperature of a body one degree
varies depending upon the restraints imposed.
Important examples:
If heat is added to a gas confined at constant volume, the amount of heat needed
to cause a one-degree temperature rise is less than if the heat is added to the
same gas at constant pressure, e.g., free to expand.
C
v
: all the energy goes into raising the temperature of the gas
C
p
: the energy contributes to the temperature increase of the gas and provides
the energy necessary for the work done by the expanding gas (on the piston).

Class examples:
1. Consider a 150 W incandescent lamp. The filament of the lamp is 5 cm long
and has diameter of 0.5 mm. The diameter of the glass bulb is 8 cm.
Determine heat flux in W/m

, (a) on the surface of the filament, and (b) on the
surface of the glass bulb, and (c) calculate how much it will cost per year to
keep the lamp on for 8 hours per day if electricity cost is $0.08 kWh.
Class examples:
2. A 4 m X 5 m X 6 m room is heated by a baseboard resistance heater. It is
desired that the heater be able to raise the air temperature in the room from 7 to
25 C within 15 min. Assuming no heat losses from the room and an
atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, determine the required power rating of
resistance heater. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature. The
molecular weight of air is 28.97 g.
