Transport Phenomena II

Spring 2005

Course Goals

Students who complete this course should be able to

1. Understand the molecular origins of heat conduction and mass diffusion

2. Understand the meaning of the various terms of the differential and integral mass transport and heat transfer equations

3. Be able to solve one-dimensional and selected two-dimensional heat and mass transfer problems on finite and semi-infinite domains and understand the associated mathematics.

4. Understand how transport and thermodynamics are acting together to determine the rate and extent of temperature and concentration changes in non-equilibrium systems.

5. Be able to obtain heat and mass transfer valid coefficients for simple and complex systems and understand how to get overall interphase transport rates and also how this topic is related to boundary-layer theory.

6. Have attained a good understanding of scaling analysis and how it can be used to compare the quantitative importance of relative effects and how scaling is related to dimensional analysis and nondimensional groups.

7. Have attained some degree of proficiency at applying the principles and equations from this class to new, out of the textbook, situations.

8. Have obtained a rudimentary understanding of radiative heat transfer.
