Mass transfer operations are of great importance in a process industry as it has a direct impact on the cost of the final product. It is imperative therefore that a chemical/process engineer should have sound knowledge on the basics of mass transfer and its applications. This book is designed to equip the reader with sufficient knowledge on mass transfer operations and face the challenges ahead.
The objective of this comprehensive and uptodate textbook is to teach a budding chemical engineer the principles involved in analyzing a process and apply the desired mass transfer operation to separate the components involved. It deals with operations involving Diffusion, Interphase mass transfer, Theories of mass transfer, Equipments for mass transfer operations, Humidification, Drying and Crystallization. The text lays emphasis on illustrating the application of theory through worked-out numerical examples. In addition, it provides numerous problems for the students to practice the concepts discussed.
