- Required Textbook
- W. M. Deen, Analysis of Transport Phenomena, Oxford University Press, USA, 1998.
- Suggested Textbooks
- R. Taylor, R. Krishna, Multicomponent Mass Transfer, Wiley-Interscience, 1993.
- J. C. Slattery, Advanced Transport Phenomena, Cambridge University Press, 1999.
- R. B. Bird, W. E. Stewart, E. N. Lightfoot, Transport Phenomena, 2nd Edition, Wiley, 2006.

Course Objectives
- 1. formulate the governing differential conservation equations, constitutive equations, and boundary conditions for any heat or mass transfer problem
- 2. use dimensional analysis and/or reasonable assumptions to make appropriate simplifications
- 3. identify and execute appropriate methods for solving the governing equations
- 4. analyze, interpret, and explain the results to assess the consequences for physical processes
Grading
- Homework: 15% (6-8 homework assignments; late homework will not be accepted without prior arrangement)
- Final: 35% (Date: April 28, 2011 at 9:00 am)
- Exam attendance policy: Missed exams cannot be made up except when the absence from the exam is announced at least 2 days prior and has been approved by the instructor. Absences due to emergencies (e.g., death in family, illness, etc.) will be considered on an individual basis.
Homework policies
- 1. Assignments are due at noon in my mailbox.
2. Some assignments may be performed numerically, in which case you are welcome to use any software you are comfortable with. But, be aware that your solution path can be followed (clearly state all assumptions made). There is no credit for a correct solution if the solution path cannot be followed by the TA or me.
3. Never forget some homework solutions require a unit!
4. Use 8.5 in. x 11 in. paper, one side only, and start each problem on a new page.
5. Number each page.
6. Staple your homework set and make sure that your name, course number, and assignment number are written on the right hand corner.
Computer Access
- Access to personal computer strongly recommended. Suggested software: MS Office (outlook, Word, Excel) or equivalent. Some homework assignments and other handouts will be distributed by e-mail.
