ENG ME 527 - Transport Phenomena in Materials ProcessingPrereq

Institution:

Boston University

Subject:

Description:

ENG ME 304 or consent of instructor. Introduction to momentum, heat, and mass transport phenomena occurring in various processes. Whereas transport phenomena underlie many processes in engineering-agriculture, meteorology, physiology, biology, analytical chemistry, materials science, pharmacy, and other areas-they are key to specific applications in diverse areas such as materials processing, green manufacturing of primary materials, biological membranes, fuel cell engineering, and synthesis of clean fuels. This course covers three closely related transport phenomena: momentum transfer (fluid flow), energy transfer (heat flow), and mass transfer (diffusion). The mathematical underpinnings of all three transport phenomena are closely related and the differential equations governing them are frequently quite similar. Since in many situations the three transport phenomena occur together, they are presented and studied together in this course. 4 cr.
