Syllabus: An introduction to the transfer of momentum, thermal energy and mass by molecular means using shell balance and conservation equations. Turbulent transport and boundary layer methods are also discussed. Mechanism of momentum transport. Mechanism of energy transport. Mechanism of mass transport. Shell momentum balances. Equations of change (isothermal). Momentum transport with two independent variables. Turbulent momentum transport. Heat transfer. Shell energy balances. Equations of change (non-isothermal). Energy transport with two independent variables. Numerical methods for fluid flow and heat transfer. Viscous flow near a wall and sphere heating. Mass transfer. Equations of change (multicomponent).
