Transport phenomena I

(ENG)

4 points + 2 lectures and 2 tutorials per week + First semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: MAT2901, MAT2902, CHE2100

Synopsis: Transfer coefficients - viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusivity. Newton0s law of viscosity, Fourier0s law of heat conduction, Fick0s law of diffusion. Analogies of three transfer processes. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Conservation laws - mass, momentum and energy. Steady state shell mass, momentum and energy balances - applications. Derivations of equations of change for isothermal systems - Cartesian coordinates. Generalisation of these to vector/tensor form using arbitrary volume element. Solutions to multivariable flow problems.
