Course Description
The course aims to provide a unified view of the three fundamental transport processes from Chemical Engineering perspective. These are dealt in three closely related topics
- Fluid dynamics: involves transport of momentum,
- Heat transfer: deals with transport of energy, and
- Mass transfer: concerned with transport of mass.
These three transport processes need to be studied together as they usually occur simultaneously (and rarely alone) in many industrial and natural phenomena. Starting from the basic mechanisms of the transport of each of the three properties (momentum, energy and mass), we will study the shell balance methods and derive the equations of change for these properties and use them to solve simple analytical problems and get distribution of velocity, temperature and concentration.
