26201 Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering Summer
Description and rationale: The aim of this course is to provide basic knowledge of transport phenomena and basic mathematical skills to describe and analyze steady behavior of fluids flows and energy transport. Fluid dynamics and heat transfer are the basis of the course and important lows such as Newton’s law of viscosity and Fourier’s law of heat conduction are reviewed. In particular, multiphase flows such as gas-liquid two-phase flows and solid-liquid two-phase flows frequently encountered in materials processing operations are introduced. Measurement methods for transport phenomena and dimensionless parameters such as the Reynolds number also are focused. The final goal of this course is to acquire basic skills for mathematical and physical modeling of materials processing operations.
