The Basics of Transport Phenomena

4.36 ratings at edX

Overview

Learn the basic framework to work on a broad spectrum of engineering problems concerning transfer of heat, mass and momentum. Learn through examples of everyday processes at home, in the lab and in industry.

What you'll learn

  • Identify heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid flow phenomena in lab, industrial and daily environment.
  • Identify quantities and subjects used in transport phenomena.
  • Use balances to solve problems.
  • Apply the concepts of transport phenomena to a variety of real life problems.
  • Make the correct assumptions to put real-life situations into mathematical model.
  • Solve and assess a model from a quantitative perspective.
  • See the world through different eyes.
