| Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have a good familiarity with the basic principles and mechanisms of transport phenomena (i.e. the transfer of momentum, energy and mass) and will be able to use shell balance technique conservation equations to set up and solve transport problems. They will be able to apply the boundary layer theory to solve typical transport problems in chemical engineering and will understand and use semi-empirical correlations of turbulent transport. Students will also be able to tackle complex transport phenomenon problems using advanced analytical and numerical techniques. |
