| Course Objectives: |
The aim of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles and applications of mass transfer and separation processes. Within the scope of the course, topics such as basic principles of mass transfer, diffusion coefficients, continuity equation and shell balance method will be discussed. Additionally, practical applications such as convection mass transfer, mass transfer coefficients and packed column design in two-phase systems will be examined. Separation processes based on phase equilibria and diffusion processes, analysis and calculations of these processes will be emphasized. Equipment and calculations related to evaporation, equilibrium stages, countercurrent operations, absorption, distillation and extraction processes are also important topics of the course. |
| Course Content: |
Starting from the basic principles and definitions of mass transfer, it covers diffusion coefficients, continuity equation and shell balance method. Topics such as calculation of diffusion coefficients in gases, liquids and solids, mass transfer by convection, eddy diffusion and mass transfer coefficients for turbulent flows are detailed. The design of continuous contact systems and the derivation of operating curves are covered. Classification of separation methods, diffusional separation processes, evaporation and equipment introduction, interphase equilibrium relations, calculations of absorption and distillation towers, flash and continuous distillation theory, theoretical rack number solutions, extraction theory and equipment are also examined comprehensively. |
