2.0 SYNOPSIS

Heat and Mass Transfer Laboratory is a continuation of the previous Chemical Engineering
Laboratory I works. This course covers experiments related to heat transfer principles as well
as mass transfer operations in chemical engineering field.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course based on the theoretical and practical principles of heat
transfer and and mass transfer operations, students should be able to:

1. Identify, discuss the laboratory procedures and conducts the experimental units.
2. Measure, analyse and interpret the experiments in relation to the fundamental theories
and concepts.

Student should carry out minimum six (6) experiments which consist of three (3) open-ended
experiments and another three (3) for normal procedural experiments. The following are the
equipments available for experiments:

1 Tray Dryers
2 Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger
3 Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
4 Cooling Tower
5 Double Effect Evaporator
6 Distillation Column
7 Liquid-Liquid Extraction
8 Gas Absorption
9 Membrane Separation

Student should carry out minimum six (6) of the above experiments during the semester. In case of
any above experiments is not available, alternative experiments or special assignment(s) shall be
conducted.

For selected open-ended experiments, the activities should include:

1. Preparing experimental procedure based on Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of each

equipment.
2. Discussion/consultation with lecturer and lab technician/lab assistant on experimental
procedure and suitability of chemicals/materials to be used.
