1 ABE 3612C HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS 1. Catalog Description: 4 credits. Transport phenomena, steady and unsteady state heat conduction, radiation, free and forced convection, mass transfer, psychometrics, thermodynamics of biological processes. 2. Pre-requisites MAP Course Objectives: 1. Provide students with the fundamental knowledge needed to successfully practice the profession of agricultural and biological engineering in the area of heat and mass transfer. 2. Train students to design, test, and analyze systems and processes that involve transport phenomena. 3. Train students to formulate and solve heat and mass transfer problems and to use modern computational and experimental equipment. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be capable of analyzing heat and mass transfer processes and making design calculations for many agricultural and biological engineering applications. This course will help students develop their ability to a) apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering, b) conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, c) identify, formulate and solve engineering problems, d) communicate effectively (through lab reports and class discussion, and e) use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. The course will consist of 3 lectures and 1 laboratory per week, problem sets, quizzes and examinations. Some of the laboratory sessions will be used to work example problems, for projects, discussions and lectures. 4. Contribution of course to meeting the professional component for ABET: This course contributes four (4) credit hours toward meeting the minimum 48 credit hours of Engineering Topics in the basic-level curriculum for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural and Biological Engineering. 5.

Cell phones must be silenced prior to the start of class and exams. No food will be permitted. 16. Homework Assignments: Assignments must be presented on 8.5" x 11" paper; on one side only. Assignments will be marked down for a sloppy presentation and, if excessive, they may be returned un-graded. Laboratory and project reports, including all calculations, must be typed. Homework assignments as well as laboratory and project reports must be turned in before class begins. Assignments returned late, before 4:00 PM on the day they were due, will be marked down by 10% of their total. Assignments returned late, before 4:00 PM on the day following the due date will be marked down by 50% of their total (assignment must be ed if submitted on a Saturday). No assignments will be accepted after 4:00 P.M. on the following day. 17. Grading: Final Comprehensive Examination 1 20% 10:00 A.M.) Two Examinations 40% 3:00 P.M.; 3:00 P.M.)

Make-up Exam Policy: No make-up exams will be given except for valid medical reasons or unless prior arrangements have been made. 20. Honesty Policy All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all others.

That office will provide the student with documentation that he/she must provide to the course instructor when requesting accommodation. 22. UF Counseling Services Resources are available on-campus for students having personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals. The resources include: University Counseling Center, 301 Peabody Hall, , Personal and Career Counseling. SHCC mental Health, Student Health Care Center, , Personal and Counseling. Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery and Education (CARE), Student Health Care Center, , sexual assault counseling. Career Resource Center, Reitz Union, , career development assistance and counseling. 23. Software Use All faculty, staff and student of the University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use. Failure to do so can lead to monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual violator. Because such violations are also against University policies and rules, disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to uphold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
