Transport Phenomena

Catalog description

The course will introduce the fundamental concepts of physical processed of momentum, heat and mass transfer in different processes of momentum, heat and mass transfer in different transport Phenomena. Topics include momentum, heat and mass transfer theory, integral and differential conservation equations, similarities between the three types of transport, dimensionless analysis and time scales, steady-and unsteady-state creeping and laminar flows, transport at interfaces, lubrication theory, boundary layer theory, forced and natural convection with specific application to complex and biological chemical engineering processes. There will be a lab component with this course.
