COURSE SUMMARY

• This module provides a bridge between heat, mass and momentum transport

• The core of the module is to demonstrate the interdependency of these three and to solve practical problems that arise in the industry

• A simple yet powerful CFD package is used to simulate transport problems (prior knowledge of CFD is not necessary)

3

PREREQUISITES

• Fluid Mechanics • Engineering Mathematics 1 • Engineering Mathematics 2 • Heat and Mass Transfer

• It also helps if you have strong interest in computational methods

4

AIMS• To provide an in depth knowledge of heat, mass and

momentum transport that is necessary in assessing, analysing and developing chemical, biochemical and environmental processes

• This module fills the gap between 1st year transport phenomena and the 4th year CFD module while introducing the multiphysics aspect of the discipline

• The module will cover advance topics in heat, mass and momentum transport
