Time and location: Tuesday and Thursday: 1:30-2:45 pm Maryland 217 Instructor: Prof. Joelle Frechette, Maryland Hall 121 Office Hours: Friday: 10:00am-12:00 pm Tel.: (410) 516-0113 Fax: (410) 516-5510 E-mail: jfrechette@jhu.edu; Email office hours : Mon 4pm, Wed 9pm, and Sun 9pm. TA: Charles Dhong, Email: dh.charlie@gmail.com Recitation: W 5:00-6:00 pm (TBA) and Office hour: M 5pm (TBA) _____________________________________________________________________________ _ Course Description: Introduction to the field of transport phenomena. Molecular mechanisms of momentum transport (viscous flow), energy transport (heat conduction), and mass transport (diffusion). Isothermal equations of change (continuity, motion, energy). The development of the Navier Stokes equation. The development of nonisothermal and multicomponent equations of change for heat and mass transfer. Exact solutions to steady state, isothermal unidirectional flow problems, to steady state heat and mass transfer problems. The analogies between heat, mass, and momentum transfer are emphasized throughout the course. Introduction to dimensional analysis. _____________________________________________________________________________ _ Course Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the ability to describe momentum, heat and mass transfer processes mathematically at both microscopic and macroscopic levels. 2. Develop skills to identify, formulate and reduce a complex chemical engineering problem into a simplified model that can be solved analytically. 3. Apply engineering fundamentals based on the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy in the analysis of chemical engineering processes involving fluid flow, heat and mass transfer. 4. To develop general governing equations, and analyze them in terms of mechanisms, and magnitudes. 5. To develop skills to think critically about models and solutions of these processes using similarities between processes, and using scaling arguments. _____________________________________________________________________________ _ TEXTBOOK: TRANSPORT PHENOMENA, Second Edition, Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot John Wiley & Sons, New York (2007) _________________________________________________________________________ TOPIC READING IN TEXT (BSL) 1.

Most of them will be due on Fridays by 5pm in Prof. Frechettes mailbox in MD 224. You should devote considerable thought and time to the homework problems. Homework should be prepared in a professional manner. You should think of HW as a technical report that you are presenting to your boss. This often means that a final copy should be prepared from your working scratch documents. (HW must be stapled at the upper left hand corner (no clips or other substitutes); HW must be prepared on paper with clean edges, (i.e., no paper torn from spiral notebooks; HW must be legible.). When preparing your homework: clearly indicate your name on the first page and initial all pages, and always indicate units throughout each problems and box all your answers. Half of the homework grade will be awarded simply for completing the problem; the other half will be awarded based on the correctness of the approach and results. Policy for late problem sets.You are given two coupons that may be used to extend a homework due date. The proper use of coupons is the only mechanism available for submitting late homework. Signed coupon must be stapled to your late homework. Only two coupons are allowed per person. Project presentations: Each student prepares a Powerpoint presentation (8 minutes/6 slides + 2 minute questions) including information on, but not limited to: Basic transport phenomena, key concepts and equations, example of application, historical background, molecular description, current commercial practices, future ideas, etc. Important dates: finalize topics by 9/12 (email me by 5pm). The presentations begin on 10/01 (the schedule will be posted on blackboard and emailed to all the students). Example of topics include: microfluidics, friction, transport at the nanoscale, electrowetting to move droplets, validity of the no-slip boundary condition, blood flow, cooling computer chips, electrophoeresis, oil extraction, soil pollution, molecular origin, emerging nano- &bio- technologies, food science, pharmaceuticals, materials, topics suggested by the student (see instructor). Exams There will be 3 midterm exams and one final exam. Tentative dates for the midterm exams are Midterm 1: September 26. Midterm 2: October 24. Midterm 3: November 21 All exams are cumulative. Grading: Your final grade will be determined as follows: Exams total 80% distributed as follows: highest score: 30%, 2nd highest 25%, 3rd highest 15%, lowest score: 10%.

Problem sets: 8% Project: 8% Participation (4%) Grades will be determined from an absolute scale: 85% = A-; 75% = B-; 65% = C- etc. I reserve the right to shift these percentages down (but not up). For example, if a particular exam is more difficult than I originally planned, an A- may be achieved with an 83. It is not advisable to rely on a grade shift. Course Website: www.blackboard.jhu.edu The course website will be used extensively during the semester. Problem sets, solutions, copies of handouts, as well as other optional reading material will be available on the website. Please consult it regularly for any announcements This Coupon is GOOD for an extension of the homework due date Until the beginning of the Monday Class Name: Submit HW with stapled coupon in class.

Cheating is wrong. Cheating hurts our community by undermining academic integrity, creating mistrust, and fostering unfair competition. The university will punish cheaters with failure on an assignment, failure in a course, permanent transcript notation, suspension, and/or expulsion. Offenses may be reported to medical, law or other professional or graduate schools when a cheater applies. Violations can include cheating on exams, plagiarism, reuse of assignments without permission, improper use of the Internet and electronic devices, unauthorized collaboration, alteration of graded assignments, forgery and falsification, lying, facilitating academic dishonesty, and unfair competition. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse. Collaboration on Homework: Homework is provided as practice of your individual problem solving skills, and exam problems will primarily test skills developed through the homework. Therefore, you are expected to attempt to solve the problems individually, and each student must submit his or her own work.

However, the test of whether one truly understands something is the ability to explain it to others. Therefore, you may consult with your colleagues if you have difficulty with a problem, and you may also act as a consultant. For example, legitimate consulting questions might be, How do you solve this integral? or Do these assumptions look right to you?. However, copying of another persons homework (I dont understand problem 3.1, can I see yours?) or giving a colleague a copy of your results are strictly forbidden. Violations will be dealt with in accordance to the universitys policies on academic ethics. On every exam, you will sign the following pledge: "I agree to complete this exam without unauthorized assistance from any person, materials or device. Old exams from this course will be provided on www.blackboard.jhu.edu. For more information, see the guide on "Academic Ethics for Undergraduates" and the Ethics Board web site (http://ethics.jhu.edu).
