EGRB 303 - Biotransport Processes

Institution:

Virginia Commonwealth University

Subject:

Description:

Semester course; 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours. 4 credits. Prerequisites: PHIS 309, 310 (or equivalents), EGRB 215, 310, PHYS 208 and CHEM 102. Course involves the study of mass, momentum and heat transfer within the human body, between the human body and the environment, and in the design of devices and systems that are involved with transport processes in a medical and clinical setting. The underlying principles of mass, momentum and energy transfer will be addressed, followed by a study of such processes that are ongoing in the human body. The design of biomedical devices and systems that involve transport processes also will be studied. Examples include cardiovascular blood flow, transport across cell membranes, respiration and thermoregulation. Laboratories included in support of these topics.
