CHE 350Process Heat Transfer

3 credits · Chemical Engineering · Penn State

The objective of the course is to introduce to students heat transfer mechanisms in solids and fluids and their chemical process applications. At the conclusion of the course, the student should possess the ability to model steady and unsteady heat transfer in simple systems, and design heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks. The development of the material of this course requires use of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, and sets the basis for the design of reactors and separation processes.
