Transport Phenomena

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the basic notions, equations and modeling approaches related to transport phenomena. This includes the basic concepts of continuum mechanics, heat and mass transfer, rheology, fluid mechanics, and processes commonly found in chemical engineering. These equations, tools and concepts will be used frequently throughout the master.
