Description

Review of the analogy between mass, momentum and thermal transport. Derivation of the equations of change for: Isothermal systems - continuity and equation of motion, Non-isothermal systems - forced and free convection. Multicomponent systems. Case studies: Cone-and-plate viscometer, Vortex prediction in a stirred tank, Transpiration cooling, Free convection heat transfer from a vertical plate; simultaneous heat and mass transfer; drying. Mass transfer with chemical reaction. Transient analysis of transport phenomena: Viscous laminar flow, Heat conduction in solids. Diffusion - Evaporation and unsteady-state diffusion with chemical reaction. Two-dimensional transport problems. Power law fluids - momentum and thermal transport.

Note: This course is an extension of material given in CEIC2120 Fluid Flow, CEIC2130 Heat Transfer and CHEN2140 Mass Transfer.
