MTGN 461 - Transport Phenomenaand Reactor Design For Metallurgical- And- Materials Engineers

Institution:

Colorado School of Mines

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to the conserved-quantities: momentum, heat, and mass transfer, and application of chemical kinetics to elementary reactor-design. Examples from materials processing and process metallurgy. Molecular transport properties: viscosity, thermal conductivity, and mass diffusivity of materials encountered during processing operations. Uni-directional transport: problem formulation based on the required balance of the conserved- quantity applied to a control-volume. Prediction of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Equations of change: continuity, motion, and energy. Transport with two independent variables (unsteady-state behavior). Interphase transport: dimensionless correlations friction factor, heat, and mass transfer coefficients. Elementary concepts of radiation heat-transfer. Flow behavior in packed beds. Design equations for: Continuous- Flow/ Batch Reactors with Uniform Dispersion and Plug Flow Reactors. Digital computer methods for the design of metallurgical systems. Laboratory sessions devoted to: Tutorials/ Demonstrations to facilitate the understanding of concepts related to selected topics; and, Projects with the primary focus on the operating principles and use of modern electronicinstrumentation for measurements on lab-scale systems in conjunction with correlation and prediction strategies for analysis of results. Prerequisites: MATH225, MTGN334 and MTGN352. 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
