Course Objectives
- The basic aim is to conduct practical investigations on various mass transfer processes for a thorough understanding and a detailed insight to support the theoretical knowledge.
Course Outcomes
The syllabus is basically designed to acquaint students with various types of contacting systems viz. liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, gas-solid with practical demonstration. The course would assist students to understand the molecular diffusion phenomena and binary separation principles of various industrially important unit operations from a practical point-of-view.
