KMM 501E - Transport Phenomena

Course Objectives

The students will learn:
1. how to formulate conservation statements in momentum and heat multiscales from microscopic to macroscopic in both steady and unsteady modes.
2. to determine velocity and pressure profiles in laminar steady and unsteady –state flow systems, steady and unsteady-state temperature in isotropic solids and flow
3. how to solve analytic linear partial differential equations including separation of variables and similarity solutions.
4. how to formulate simultaneous momentum and heat transfer
