This module introduces the fundamental principles of transport phenomena, which are essential for understanding and analyzing engineering systems involving the transfer of energy, mass, and momentum. The course begins with an overview of the different modes of transfer, providing a unified framework that links heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid mechanics.
Students will study heat transfer mechanisms, including conduction, convection, and radiation, and learn how to analyze and quantify thermal energy exchange in various systems. The module then focuses on mass transfer, covering molecular diffusion and convective mass transfer, with applications in chemical, environmental, and energy engineering processes.
The final part of the module is dedicated to momentum transfer, where students examine fluid properties, fluid statics, and the general conservation equations governing fluid flow. Emphasis is placed on the physical interpretation of the governing laws and their application to real engineering problems.
Overall, this module aims to provide students with a strong theoretical foundation and analytical skills required to model, analyze, and design systems involving coupled heat, mass, and momentum transfer phenomena.
