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.

Doing this course student will be able
CO1: to model the mass, momentum and energy transport problems.
CO2: to select the proper initial and boundary conditions to solve the partial differential equations which represent the physical system.
CO3: to analyse input-output data of the transport processes.
CO4: to solve complex engineering problems by solving coupled mass, momentum and energy transport equations.
CO5: to apply the transport phenomena knowledge in his/her academic and professional project work for designing different process equipment effectively.
