CHE 6140 - Physics of Transport

Lec. 3. Cr. 3.
Course is focused on learning fundamentals of conservation principles in chemical engineering applications. It reviews fundamentals of vector algebra and vector mechanics. The course introduces students to principles of conservation of momentum, total and species mass, and energy. Of particular interest is the integral equation-based formulation of these principles and their scaling to the microscopic scale. Systems for both traditional chemical engineering applications and more recent ones including biotechnology and environmental areas are selected for illustrations.
