The Transfer Phenomena unit teaches the mechanisms and the mathematical equations that describe the energy transfer processes such as the transport of mass (diffusion), or of heat (convection, conduction, radiation).

In the first part of the unit, students get the basic theoretical and experimental knowledge of heat transfer in a stationary medium, and in a convective flow; free convection; the effect of heat sources (viscous, electric; chemical, nuclear); finding the temperature distribution in different modes of heat exchange.

In the second part of the unit, students gain not only basic theoretical and experimental knowledge of diffusion and convection in multicomponent systems, but also more in-depth knowledge of diffusion processes in different external fields, in homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions, in adsorption and interphase mass transfer.
