Course Description
The course provides tools to carry out the process design of operations involving mass transfer. The subject matter covers treatment of separation processes based on the concepts of stage wise and differential mass transfer. Process design integrates knowledge from other courses (for example PROC2089 Process Plant Design and Economics and PROC2090 Process Control and Simulation) to enable appropriate equipment design. Extensive use is made of industrial examples and analogies between the various transport mechanisms to encourage lateral thinking.

Overview of Learning Activities
A detailed weekly lecture plan is available for download from Canvas. Teacher directed learning activities involve scheduled lecture and tutorial sessions. Lectures will provide a guide to the main concepts of selected topics, whereas tutorials will provide examples and guidance in calculation methods. The scheduled lectures, tutorials, and directed reading are designed to develop your knowledge and skills in selected topics.
Total study hours: You will average between 2 to 3 hours per week in teacher directed hours including tutorials. You are expected to spend an additional 4 to 6 hours per week reviewing pre-recorded lecture materials, preparing assessments and independent study.
Overview of Learning Resources
You will be provided access to lecture notes, tutorials (plus solutions), lecture videos and other materials, when applicable.
Support can also be found at RMIT Library Guides: http://rmit.libguides.com/chemicaleng
