Course Objectives
- To provide an introduction to individual / simultaneous momentum, energy and mass transport processes.
- To teach students how to develop a mathematical representation of the physical process and get its analytical solution using proper initial and boundary conditions for analysing the system performance.
- To help the student to understand the analogy among the transport processes.
Course Outcomes
Doing this course student will be able <br />CO1: to model the mass, momentum and energy transport problems. <br />CO2: to select the proper initial and boundary conditions to solve the partial differential equations which represent the physical system. <br />CO3: to analyse input-output data of the transport processes. <br />CO4: to solve complex engineering problems by solving coupled mass, momentum and energy transport equations. <br />CO5: to apply the transport phenomena knowledge in his/her academic and professional project work for designing different process equipment effectively.
