Transport Phenomena I

Catalog description

Fundamentals and integration of concepts from fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer to biological, chemical, and mechanical systems. An integrated approach will be used to study fundamental concepts in transport phenomena including: fluid properties, mechanics of fluids, dimensional analysis, steady and transient flow regimes, steady and unsteady conduction, forced and free convection, radiation heat transfer, laminar and turbulent flow, heat exchangers, mass diffusion, and interphase transport. Analogy of heat, mass, and momentum transport phenomena principles will be presented. Prerequisites: MME 314 or CPB 314 ; MTH 245 or MTH 246 ; CPB 219 or MME 211 ; and CPB 204 with a grade of C or better.
