3104

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The course aims to enable the students to • learn the principles and applications of heat and mass transfer operations in food industries.
• understand the mechanisms and concept of heat transfer effectively.
• Investigate the mass transfer operational approaches.

UNIT I	HEAT TRANSFER – CONDUCTION	12

Basic heat transfer processes - conductors and insulators - conduction – Fourier’s law of heat conduction – thermal conductivity and thermal resistance - linear heat flow – heat transfer through homogenous wall, composite walls, radial heat flow through cylinders and sphere – solving problems in heat transfer by conduction.

UNIT II	HEAT TRANSFER – CONVECTION	12

Heat transfer - convection – free and forced convection - factors affecting the heat transfer coefficient in free and forced convection heat transfer – overall heat transfer coefficient - solving problems in foods.

UNIT III	HEAT TRANSFER – RADIATION AND HEAT EXCHANGER	12

Radiation heat transfer – concept of black and grey body - monochromatic Total emissive power– Kirchhoff’s law – Planck’s law - Stefan-Boltzmann’s law –Heat exchangers – parallel, counter and cross flow- Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference – overall coefficient of heat transfer in shell and tube heat exchanger for food products.

UNIT IV	MASS TRANSFER - DIFFUSION, EVAPORATION AND CONCENTRATION	12

Unit operations in food processing –conservation of mass and energy – overall view of an engineering process-dimensions and units – dimensional and unit consistency – dimensionless ratios-evaporation – definition – liquid characteristics – single and multiple effect evaporation- performance of evaporators and boiling point elevation – capacity – economy and heat balance- types of evaporators – once through and circulation evaporators – short tube evaporators and long tube evaporators – agitated film evaporator. Mass transfer in foods – introduction – Fick’s law for molecular diffusion - molecular diffusion in gases – equimolar counters diffusion in gases and diffusion of A through non diffusing B, diffusion coefficients for gases - molecular diffusion in liquids, solids, biological solutions and gels.

UNIT V	MASS TRANSFER – DISTILLATION	12

Vapour liquid equilibria - Raoult’s law- Principle of distillation - flash distillation, differential distillation, steam distillation, multistage continuous rectification, Number of ideal stages by Mc.Cabe -Thiele method.
