This course develops and illustrates the
balance principles governing the transport of momentum,
energy, and mass. The physical basis for the constitutive
behavior of fluids is emphasized. Students will practice
solving problems representing transport phenomena in various
engineering operations. Both analytical and applied numerical
methods are employed to develop a quantitative understanding
of transport phenomena characterized by significant spatial
and temporal changes. Professional responsibility is fostered
in individual students by requiring thoughtful solutions
to transport phenomena problems having an important impact
on the current engineering practices.

It is the objective of this course to
be an introduction to the field of transport phenomena
for students of engineering and applied science. Since
the current demand in engineering education is to put
more emphasis on understanding basic principles than on
the blind use of empiricism, the three transport processes
of momentum, heat or energy, and mass transfer are considered
using a more unified approach to a fundamental and systematic
description of these transport processes. The similarities
of the basic equations and computational methods in these
three areas are used for increasing the understanding
the three individual transport processes. In addition,
the differences that occur in the actual physical processes,
which modify the general equations, are pointed out.
