Text:
We will be completely following the textbook: An introduction to Heat and Mass Transfer by Stanley Middleman, John Wiley & Sons Inc.(1998). I have placed this book on reserve in the S&E library, but I would suggest that students actually buy this textbook as it is quite a handy one to have.

Covered Topics:
Chapter 1. What is mass transfer?
Chapter 2. Fundamentals of diffusive mass transfer
Chapter 3. Steady and quasi-steady mass transfer
Chapter 4. Unsteady state (transient) mass transfer
Chapter 5. Diffusion with laminar convection
Chapter 6. Convective mass transfer coefficients

Homeworks:
1. Homework I, Solution
2. Homework II, Solution
3. Homework III, Solution
4. Homework IV, Solution
5. Midterm I Solution
6. Homework V, Solution
7. Homework VI, Solution
8. Midterm II Solution
7. Homework VII, Solution

Previous year exams:
1. Midterm 1, Solution
2. Midterm 2, Solution
3. Finals , Solution

Grading Scheme:
The grades will be based on the following point allocation:
Homework assignments: 20%
Midterm exam I: 20%
Midterm exam II: 20%
Final exam: 40%

In general, the grades will be assigned according to a bell-shaped curve that depends upon your relative performances, but a rough estimate would be: A > 80%, B > 70%, C > 55%, and D > 40%.

Homework Policy:
Please take homeworks very seriously, as many exam questions will be based on homework problems. Also, feel free to discuss homework problems amongst yourself (in fact, I encourage discussion). However,make sure that when you turn in your homeworks, they are your own interpretations of the problem solutions. Blatant copying is not allowed!

Cheating Policy:
I remind you of the serious action taken by the university with regard to cheating. See UCSD policy on academic dishonesty.
