Biotransport.

Catalog description

This course focuses on momentum transport (viscous flow) and mass transport (diffusion and convection) in living systems. The fundamental principles of momentum and mass transfer are explored and laws of conservation applied to develop mathematical descriptions of physiological and engineering systems across a range of length scales. Students develop technical writing skills and learn to use computation fluid dynamics simulation tools. Prerequisites: Completion of all Fundamental Skills; MATH 057 ; PHYS 053 with a “C-“ or better.
