EB 3620 - Transport Phenomena II

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
This course covers concepts, procedures and techniques related to solving heat and mass transfer problems with biological content, context, and parameters including applications to biomolecular engineering. Mammalian, plant, bacterial, industrial food and biological processing, and bioenvironmental (soil and water) systems are presented. Integral and differential transport equations are applied to the solution of heat and mass transfer problems. Mass transfer includes diffusion, capillarity, convection, and dispersion mechanisms with sources and sinks such as metabolic heat generation and oxygen consumption. Heat transfer includes conduction, convection and radiation processes including bio-heat transfer, thermoregulation, sterilization, drying, freezing and global warming. Application of heat and mass transfer problem solving skills for biological systems is the focus. (prereq: EB 3610 )
