Synopsis: Transfer coefficients - viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusivity. Newton's law of viscosity, Fourier's law of heat conduction, Fick's 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.
