Transport Phenomena

Module code: CPE7011-B

Module Aims

The module establishes the mathematical framework of the conservation equations (continuity, motion and energy) and the corresponding constitutive equations (Newton’s Law of Viscosity, Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction and Fick’s Law of Diffusion). These are then applied to analyse various flow, heat transfer and mass transfer situations of importance to chemical engineering and obtain exact analytical solutions to steady state, unidirectional Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow problems and to steady-state heat and mass transfer problems. Students will be introduced to the use of CFD packages to solve situations not possible analytically.
