Fundamentals of Reactive Transport Phenomena - (Spring 2003)

Momentum, heat and mass transport are the sequence of transport processes that are of primary concern to chemical engineers. The course will begin with a detailed study of the fundamental conservation laws governing each of the transport processes. A series of examples will follow illustrating the use of these principles for solving problems.

Objectives:

1) To provide an introduction to momentum, heat and mass transport as fundamental components of chemical engineering
2) To develop physical intuition and problem-solving skills
3) To lay the foundation for studies in transport phenomena, kinetics, control and design

Prerequisites:
The prerequisite is 155:201 or its equivalent as approved by the department.
