When a
system contains two or more components whose concentrations vary from point to
point, there is a natural tendency for mass to be transferred, minimizing the
concentration differences within a system. The transport of one constituent from
a region of higher concentration to that of a lower concentration is called mass
transfer. The topic in these notes are as follows : Introduction to Mass
Transfer, Humidification, Drying, Crystallization, Membrane Seperation.

The
mass transfer operations are largely the responsibility of chemical engineers,
but increasingly practitioners of other engineering disciplines are finding them
necessary for their work. The objective of this note is to provide a means to
teach undergraduate chemical engineering students the basic principles of mass
transfer and to apply these principles, aided by computational tools, to the
design of equipment used in separation processes.
