Course Objective
This course is intended for students who are interested in basic Heat and Mass Transfer concepts to gain an understanding of the various sub disciplines in Heat and Mass Transfer, and demonstrate his/ her comprehension of Heat and Mass Transfer concepts and critical thinking.
Course Content
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
· Describe and demonstrate the following topics:
Basic principles of food process engineering
Multistage processes
Enthalpy changes in foods during freezing
Heat transfer
· Solve material transfer problems involved in dilution, concentration and dehydration
· Explain properties of saturated and superheated steam
Required Resources
- Fundamentals of Food Process Engineering, 4th ed. 2018 – Romeo T. Toledo, Rakesh K. Singh, Fanbin Kong; Springer International Publishing (Food Science Text Series)
- Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals and Application, 6th ed. 2019 - Yunus Cengel, Afshin Ghajar ; McGraw Hill

Explanations
Quiz:
Two quizzes will be given during the semester. The one with higher grade in these two quizzes will be selected for the 20% of the overall grade. Only one timed attempt will be given in each quiz. The quizzes may consist of short answer questions and calculation questions based on the assigned book chapters and materials posted online. Each exam must be taken independently and individually in class without any textbook, notes, and class/online materials.
Exams of the Lectures:
One midterm test and one final exam will be given during the semester. One timed attempt will be given. These may consist of true or false, multiple choice, short answer questions and calculation questions based on the assigned book chapters and materials posted online. Each exam must be taken independently and individually without any textbook, notes, and class/online materials.
Rules
Academic Honesty:
All academic work must meet the standards contained in university policy. Students are responsible for informing themselves about those standards before performing any academic work. A student must always submit work that represents his or her original words or ideas.
