Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
- identify and describe heat, mass and momentum transport mechanisms
- develop and solve models for physical transport problems
- solve problems in turbulent transport using empirical approaches and the Chilton-Colburn analogy
- describe phase change and its effect on transport problems
- quantify the role played by radiation heat transfer in physical problems
- perform a heat exchanger design using Kern's method
- use non-Newtonian models to obtain velocity profiles for shear-thinning, shear thickening and Bingham fluids
- assess validity of modelling approaches taken by e.g. checking assumptions and magnitude of dimensionless parameters
