Course aims:

 Conveyance of theoretical and methodological basic notions related to tranfer phenomena and unit operations;
 Students customisation to the specific terminology used in mass and heat transfer phenomena and unit operations;
 Acquisition of basic notions used for understanding of specific aspects approached in future courses as well as in the future professional life.
 Presenting general calculation methods of processes related to impulse, mass and heat transfer in pipe flows and in plane flows;
 Presenting some thermodynamic systems used in environmental engineering;

Course Entry Requirements:

Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Fluid Mechanics

Course contents:

 Introduction, goals and objectives of this course;  Transfer phenomena and unit operations – their analysis and application;  Momentum transfer;  Energy transfer;  Mass transfer;  Operations of momentum transfer;  Operations of energy transfer;  Operations of mass transfer;  Similitude theory and dimensional analysis;  Examples;  Conclusions and applications in treating specific environmental pollution issues and environmental engineering matters.

Teaching methods:

Giving lectures, presenting real case studies, explaining industrial processes based on momentum, energy and mass transfer, conversation, exemplification.

Learning outcomes:

 explaining basic natural or anthropic mechanisms, processes and effects which are determing and influencing the environmental pollution;  handling and solutioning specific environmental problems for assuring a sustainable development;  characterising the state of environmental factors by analysing the characteristic physical, chemical and biotical parameters.

Learning outcomes verification and assessment criteria:

Oral examination – 60%; continuous assessment by preparing reports and delivering results of practical work in the laboratory – 20%; implication in solving problems during seminars – 20 %
