Transport phenomena are really just a fancy way that Chemical Engineers group together three areas of study that have certain ideas in common. These three areas of study are:. Why do people group these together? Well, they are all the study of the transfer of something. Fluid Mechanics deals with the transfer of momentum in a fluid.
Heat Transfer deals with the transfer of heat, and Mass Transfer deals with the transfer of mass. What does that mean, though? On a molecular scale that means that the molecules banging into each other transfer their momentum to other molecules.
On a larger scale, these molecules banging into each other determine how the fluid is going to flow-that is, if it will just flow smoothly or 'laminar' , or if it will be rough or 'turbulent'. Heat Transfer deals with the transfer of heat. Heat is just another way to say energy. So, really we are studying how energy moves around. Typical methods of Heat Transfer are:.
Mass Transfer deals with the transfer of mass. In this course we study these three transport phenomena together. This course adheres to advanced solution methods, each solution beginning with differential forms of the equations of change. The course thus leverages prior training in differential equations. The principle objective of this course is train the student to create chemical engineering knowledge using the transport phenomena approach with special focus on combined transport problems.
Bird, R. Compulsory exercises where all will contribute to the final mark. The exercises partially use Matlab. Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course.
The compulsory projects must be completed to give access to the exam. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
