Syllabus
In Process Mass Transfer, students will learn the fundamental theory and introductory practical applications of
separation processes. The fundamental theory they will study includes molecular diffusion, convective mass
transfer, interphase mass transfer, the two-film model, film and overall mass transfer coefficients and vapour-
liquid equilibrium. Mass transfer theory is used to design and analyse unit operations for separation processes.
These include flash and continuous distillation, gas absorption and stripping, solvent extraction, solid leaching and
humidification. The methods used to study the unit operations are material balances for stage and continuous
contact processes, McCabe-Thiele design methods, and packed tower design.
Introduction
Many unit operations in chemical process industry are related to separation processes. Some mixtures can be
separated by purely mechanical technique. But there are many other mixtures, such as gas and liquid mixtures (or
solutions) which can’t be separated by mechanical technique. The separation of such mixture requires the use of
either externally supplied agent or input of energy. The separation processes of this kind are based on the
principles of mass transfer and have traditionally been called mass transfer operations. This unit includes
fundamental principles and their application to commonly used mass transfer operations in process industry. The
objective of this unit is to develop theoretical and practical knowledge of mass transfer operations applicable to
the separation processes.
Tuition pattern:
l Lectures - 2 per week. They will be a mixture of content delivery and classroom problems. This component
will be delivered through online Blackboard Collaborate sessions. These sessions will be recorded and the
recordings will be available to students.
l Workshops - 1 per week. A batch of students working on a number of focussed mass transfer problems in
a tutorial style environment with discussion elements. This component will be delivered in face-to-face
mode.
l Laboratories - A batch of students performing laboratory experiments. This component will be
delivered face-to-face. More details wil be provided during the semester. Laboratory schedule and
grouping will be provided at the beginning of the semester through Blackboard annoucements.
It is important to note that in addition to the weekly classes, all students have the opportunity to contact the unit
coordinator (UC) or teaching staff for additional consultation. The staffs will be available for both online and face-
to-face consultation. The consultation time will be announced on Blackboard.
Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These
inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills
and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process
referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know,
understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully
designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of
the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities
through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.



On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Capabilities addressed

1 Apply theoretical knowledge to practical separation processes
2 Apply theoretical mass transfer concepts to industrial problems
3 Design mass transfer equipment to meet specific parameters
4 Communicate project results in written and oral forms

Intra-marking / Post-marking moderation
l Calibration of markers on a small sample of assessments prior to marking the rest

l Achieving consensus on final mark where marking is done by two or more assessors; Double marking of a
sample of assessments from each campus
l Double marking of a sample of assessments across campuses; Moderation of a sample of student work
near grade boundaries
l Moderation of all borderline results to confirm standard
l Moderation of high and low outliers to confirm result
Late assessment
Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit.
Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment
Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:
1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised
by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task;
2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated
for the assessment item will be deducted; and
3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero.
Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the
Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:



1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.
Assessment extension
Where an application for an assessment extension is permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit (refer to
the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):
1. A student who is unable to complete an assessment item by/on the due date/time as a result of exceptional
circumstances beyond the student’s control, may apply for an assessment extension on the Assessment
Extension Application Form as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. The form is available on the Forms
page at https://students.curtin.edu.au/essentials/forms-documents/forms/ and also within the student's
OASIS (My Studies tab – Quick Forms) account.
2. The student will be expected to submit their application for an Assessment Extension with supporting
documentation via the online form.
3. Timely submission of this information supports the assessment process. For applications that are declined,
delayed submission may have significant ramifications on the possible marks awarded.
4. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the due date/time of the assessment item
where the student is able to provide a verifiable explanation as to why they were not able to submit the
application prior to the assessment due date/time
Where an application for an assessment extension is NOT permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit
(refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):
1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will be subject to late penalties or receive a mark of
zero depending on the unit permitting late assessment submissions.
Deferred assessments
If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for
details.
Further assessment
Further assessment is not available in this unit.
Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on

studies
A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a
disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. Carers for people with disability
may also be eligible for support. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials
in accessible formats, access to Curtin's facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from
AccessAbility Services.
Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances or carer
responsibilities.
If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact AccessAbility Services. If you already have a CAP please
provide it to the Unit Coordinator in week 1 of each study period.
