Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Identify and describe transport mechanisms for heat, mass and momentum, developing & solving models, appropriately simplified, which address transport phenomena and conservation laws, of physical transport problems (including with 1-D fluid flow)
- Solve problems in turbulent transport using empirical approaches and the Chilton-Colburn analogy
- Understand the phenomena of phase change and how this affects transport problems
- Perform a preliminary heat exchanger design using Kern's method
- Extend simple cases of heat transfer to include radiation and for fluid flow to use 2-parameter non-Newtonian models to obtain velocity profiles
