Goal(s)
The course will give an introductory treatment of the governing laws for mass transfer.
The following topics are covered: mass transfer fundamentals: origin and physics, mass transfer in a single-phase: diffusion, convection, steady or unsteady problems, the effect of geometry (planar, cylindrical, spherical), individual phase mass transfer coefficients, and their calculations (diffusive, convective: Sherwood number correlations), multi-phase mass transfer, calculation of overall mass transfer coefficients.
Short introduction to mass exchangers: basic approach and parameters (number of theoretical stages, number of transfer units, height of transfer unit).
Applications, case examples, problems such as air drying, solvent evaporation, gas-liquid absorption, transfer through solid layers, permeation and barriers.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: basic transfer mechanisms, diffusion, and convective mass transfer. The course gives the student insight about: - Boundary layer transfer, laminar and turbulent flows.
Skills: The course should enable the student to: calculate molecular diffusion transfers, calculate fluid phase convection transfers, calculate interphase transfers, solve moderately complex material transfer problems, solve simple material exchanger problems, calculate mass transfer by analogy to heat transfer.

Learning methods and activities
Lectures, ordinary exercises, computer exercises, and laboratory exercises. A minimum of 75% of the ordinary and computer exercises and a minimum 50% of the laboratory exercises must be accepted. Ca 2 mid-term tests may be arranged, each being credited as 2 approved exercises if accepted. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course.
