What are the differences between heat transfer and mass transfer?..

Answer / karthick

heat transfers due to temp difference(high temp to low
temp) whereas mass transfers due to concentration differs
(ex some portion of room have high conentration of nitrogen
and the other portion have low.here the nitrogen slowly
diffuses from high area to low concentration area to attain
equilibrium)
