Course Description and Topics

Molecular transport properties and derivation of the differential equations of mass, energy, and momentum transport. This course builds on an undergraduate experience in transport involving mass, energy and momentum.

 

Course Topics based on Textbook

Analysis of Transport Phenomena, 2nd Ed. (2011), William M. Deen, Oxford Univ. Press

 

Chapter 1: Diffusive fluxes and material properties

Basic constitutive equations; Diffusivities for energy, species and momentum; Magnitude of transport coefficients; Molecular interpretation of transport coefficients; Continuum approximation

 

Chapter 2: Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer

Conservation equations (Mass, Energy, Chemical Species); Heat and mass transfer at interfaces; One-dimensional examples

 

Chapter 3: Formulation and Approximation

One-Dimensional Examples, Order-of-Magnitude Estimation and Scaling, "Dimensionality" in Modeling, Time Scales in Modeling

 

Chapter 4: Solution Methods based on Scaling

Similarity Method; Regular Perturbation Analysis; Singular Perturbation Analysis

 

Chapter 6: Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

Conservation of Momentum; Total Stress, Pressure, and Viscous Stress; Fluid Kinematics; Constitutive Equations for Viscous Stress; Fluid Mechanics at Interfaces; Force Calculations; Dimensionless Groups and Flow Regimes

 

Chapter 7: Unidirectional and Nearly Unidirectional Flow

Steady Flow with a Pressure Gradient; Steady Flow with a Moving Surface;  Time-Dependent Flow; Limitations of Exact Solutions; Nearly Unidirectional Flow

 

Chapter 8: Creeping flow (low Reynolds number)

Low Reynolds Number Flow; Unidirectional and Nearly Unidirectional Solutions; Stream-Function (see also Ch. 6); Point-Force Solutions; Particles and Suspensions

 

Chapter 9: Laminar flow at high Reynolds number (boundary layers)

General Features of High Reynolds Number Flow; Irrotational Flow; Boundary Layers at Solid Surfaces; Internal Boundary Layer

 

Chapter 13: Transport in turbulent flow

Basic Features of Turbulence; Time-Smoothed Equations; Eddy Diffusivity Models

 

Student progress is measured with tests, exams and weekly homework, whether students master the theories and concepts of Heat, Momentum and Mass Transfer.

 

Course Credit and Attendance

 

Course credit is based on

- Course Participation:

    Homework and Participation in Class (20%)

    Quizzes (20%)

- 2 Exams (60%)  (equal weight, so each exam = 30%)

 

Examinations and Quizzes:

 

- Two one-hour Exams (open book and notes). Scheduled on Fridays (see Schedule Details below. Accessible through Canvas)

 

- Quizzes on Fridays after 30 minute recitation

    (15 minute Quizzes between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. at

    Accessible through Canvas)

   Quizzes are based on problems and materials from the lecture and prior homework. The weakest quiz score will be dropped, if all quizzes have been handed in. There will be no make-ups.

 

Missing an exam or quiz or not turning one in is graded as a failure (0.0).

 

 

Homework: (Assignment posted at Canvas) (HW Solutions)

Weekly, assigned on Friday and due the following Friday at the beginning of the recitation lecture. Exceptions: Exam Weeks.

Each HW will be evaluated based on effort.

 

Required Readings

From Course Textbook in parallel to lecture and homework assignments.
