This course provides a fundamental understanding of
heat and mass transfer in the downstream oil industry, particularly in refinery
units. It presents theoretical background besides modules to calculate energy
balance in the operation units. For this reason, problems and solutions are included
throughout the course.
Student learning outcome:
At the end of the course, student will:
1. Understand the process of heat and mass transfer in refinery
2. Understand how heat & energy is transferred between elements of a system.
3. Be able to solve problems involving one or more modes of heat transfer. Students can learn about modes of heat transfer and conduction heat transfer.
4. Learn types of convection and dimensional analysis.
5. Learn phases of heat transfer in distillation towers
6. Be able to learn about heat exchanger types and performance.
7. Estimate the heat transfer rate for different heat exchangers
8. Will be able to learn different laws of Radiation and its applications.
9. Understand mass transfer and learn about its application.
10. Learn mass transfer process in refinery
11. Will learn the theories and the analytical methods of mass transfer in fluids, liquids and gases.
