Analysis of the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The influence of transport and non-ideal fluid behavior on kinetics. The influence of in-homogeneity in temperature and mixing. Design parameters for ideal reactors and changes dictated by non-ideality. Prerequisites: courses in physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and differential calculus.
-
3.00 Credits
Mathematics of vectors and tensors, continuum hypothesis, Euler's axioms, Cauchy's theorem, change of frame, constitutive equations, ideal fluids, vorticity dynamics, potential and viscous flows, boundary conditions, Newtonian fluids.

-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis on foundation and conceptual understanding of physical phenomena. Focus on prototypes of convective transport and transport processes involving homogeneous and heterogenous reactions; role of boundary conditions including moving boundaries; molecular interpretation of diffusion. Topics may include transport in disordered media and dispersion, coupling between flows and homogeneous reactions, leading to selectivity changes, such as in mixing; e.g., combustion and polymerizations, analysis of processes involving transport in media with time evolving morphologies, coagulation, spinoidal decomposition, transport processes near critical points.
-
3.00 Credits

Linear initial-value problems, phase-plane analysis of selected nonlinear systems and some restrictions, elementary numerical methods for initial value problems. Boundary-value problems and eigenfunction expansions for Sturm-Liouville systems, special functions and applications, elementary numerical methods for bound value pde's. Linear partial differential equations by separation of variables, transform methods and methods of characteristics, elementary numerical methods. Introduction to regular and singular perturbation methods, implications of scaling and stiffness.
-
