CATALOG DATA CBE 447/547 Advanced Transport phenomena (3.0). Overview of mo-
mentum, heat and mass transfer processes, the analogies, differential and macro-
scopic balances, applications involving molecular diffusion, including simultane-
ous mass transfer and chemical reaction.

VALUE The class will present a unified treatment of momentum transport (fluid flow), en-
PROPOSITION ergy transport (heat conduction, convection, and radiation), and mass transport
(diffusion). Material covered is a fundamental basis of transport phenomena and
momentum transport (viscous, viscoelastic, and potential flows) in the chemical
industry.
