Heat and Mass Transfer: Volume 2

Abstract

Heat and Mass Transfer: Volume 2 is a structured educational resource tailored for chemical engineering students at the polytechnic level. The book focuses on the principles and applications of steady-state heat transfer, particularly in the areas of thermal radiation, heat exchangers, and mass transfer. Key topics include blackbody radiation, Kirchhoff’s law, emissivity, the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method, effectiveness-NTU analysis, Fick’s Law of diffusion, and equimolar counter-diffusion. The content is designed to support the DGC30033 course and includes illustrative examples, real-world applications, and exercises to reinforce understanding. The book emphasizes problem-solving techniques and provides a solid theoretical foundation for students preparing for practical engineering tasks in heat and mass transfer.
