BE 3515 - Bio-thermal-fluid Transport II4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This is the second of a two-part series of courses in bio-thermal fluid transport. Specific topics that are covered include biofluid mechanics and phenomena; mass transfer topics including membrane transport and gas exchangers; and heat transfer topics including steady and unsteady conduction, convection, heat exchanger design, and cooling of electronics. (prereq: MA 235 , BE 2200 and BE 3500 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the rheology of blood and identify factors that affects its rheological behavior
- Use the overall momentum balance to relate pressures, velocities and external forces associated with control volumes
- Differentiate between laminar and turbulent flows and describe where each is encountered in the human body
- Analyze systems involving major and minor losses using the mechanical energy balance
- Evaluate different pump and flow measurement options for different flow system scenarios
- Set up classic and biomedical engineering problems using the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations and solve for flow fields in simple cases
- Define the different types of forces that fluid flow imparts on solid bodies and use correlations to estimate these forces for common geometries for different Reynolds numbers
- Relate fluid resistance, compliance and inertance to characteristics of dynamic fluid systems
- Set up classic and biomedical engineering problems using differential mass and energy balances and solve for concentration and temperature fields for simple cases
