COURSE DESCRIPTION
Basic principles of transport of momentum, heat and mass on a macroscopic and microscopic scale. Mathematical description of fundamental laws underlying these phenomena. Mechanisms and nondimensional numbers. Transport phenomena in process industry and treatment of process streams. Case studies, importance of understanding and proper description of transport phenomena on a macroscopic scale for process design and intensification. Analysis and mathematical description of specific fluid flow types with practical interest. Fluid flow in pipelines. Flow around obstacles as fluid flow omnipresent in mechanical macroprocesses of sedimentation. Flow through porous bed as the core phenomenon in filtration and fluidization unit operations. Fluid flow in mixing units. Multiphase flow with complex fluids. Computational fluid dynamics CFD as numerical analysis of fluid flows: solving the problems and process simulation. Transport phenomena in thermal and equilibrium separation processes. Case studies. Heat transport with steady state and unsteady conduction. Convective heat transport for laminar and turbulent flow with forced convection. The overall heat transfer as heat transport phenomenon in heat exchangers. Steady state and unsteady diffusion. Convective mass transport. Interphase transport. Special focus on a transport phenomenon of particular students interest, related to their research topic.
