Transport Phenomena II

Catalog description

This course covers concepts, procedures, and techniques related to solving heat and mass transfer problems with biological content, context, and parameters including biomolecular engineering applications. Integral and differential transport equations are applied to the solution of heat and mass transfer problems. Heat transfer modes including conduction, convection and radiation with bio-heat transfer, thermoregulation, sterilization, freezing, and drying processes will be introduced. The principles of mass transfer mechanisms: diffusion, dispersion, and convection will be described. Transport in mammalian, plant, bacterial systems, industrial food and biomaterials processing, and bioenvironmental (soil and water) systems are the samples of chosen application areas.
