Overview

Course objectives: This course will introduce the concepts of fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer with behavior and processing of engineering materials as the focus.

Course outcomes: At the end of this course, the student should be able to

• Pose a problem in transport phenomena as a balance equation
• Make suitable assumptions to make the problem a well defined one
• Identify suitable geometry and boundary conditions for the problem
• Solve simple partial differential equations relevant to transport phenomena
• Plot different parameters and interpret the solutions
