EB 3610 - Transport Phenomena I

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
Basic principles of mass, energy, and momentum conservation are used to derive the integral and differential forms of the transport equations. These equations are used to solve fluid flow problems of theoretical, pedagogical and practical interest. Transport through common biochemical processing equipment including pipes and reactors are considered in detail. Dimensional analysis is applied to fluid flow scenarios of interest. This course focuses on the fluid flow aspect of transport phenomena (prereq: MA 235 )
