Transport Phenomena in Materials I. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: MATH 222 , PHYS 234 , CHEM 243 , MTEN 205 . This course introduces the concepts of transport phenomena and develops the balance equations for the transport of mass, momentum, and energy. Classical force-flux relations that include Newton’s law of viscosity and Fourier’s law are considered. These equations, along with suitable boundary conditions, are applied to fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems relevant to materials characterization and processing. This includes laminar flows of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, conduction in solids, convective heat transfer, and phase change in single-component materials.
