General description and relevant information Momentum, heat and mass transfer are phenomena that govern many chemical processes. In this course, the conservation and constitutive equations that govern these transports is emphasized. The course comprises the use of commercial software to solve real heat and mass transfer problems of engineering and nanotechnology significance.

Other comments and second exam session

In the resit exam (second call), the student can do again the "Extended-answer tests" and the "Practical tests" parts. The new marks will substitute the previous ones.

Plagiarism: The practices in computer rooms and the problem solving exercises are individual assignments. Although one can consult with other students or professors about the content of the assignment, the ideas, calculations, justifications and reasoning about the results must be done by the student. Plagiarism is the copying (or allowing to be copied) or paraphrasing of other people's work or ideas without full acknowledgement. Plagiarism may incur severe penalties, including failure of the assignment.

The average of the two items that have an exam format (Extended-answer tests and Practice tests) must be at least four for calculating the final grade according the percentages stated above.

During the evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized must be switched off and out of sight.
