Heat and Mass Transfer Analysis in Chemical Engineering Assignment

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a chemical engineering assignment focusing on heat and mass transfer principles. The assignment addresses two main problems. The first problem involves the calculation of heat transfer through a composite thermal system, determining resistance, heat flow, and temperature distribution. The second problem delves into mass transfer, specifically exploring industrial processes like distillation, using the example of fruit spirit production. It explains the distillation process, including the role of mass diffusion, the application of Fick's law, and the concept of equilibrium ratio (K-value) and relative volatility. The solution also includes calculations for molar and mass flow rates and temperature distribution. References to relevant literature are also included, providing a solid foundation for understanding the concepts of heat and mass transfer.
