About This Course
Have you ever wondered why ventilation helps to cool down your hot chocolate? Do you know why a surfing suit keeps you warm? Why iron feels cold, while wood feels warm at room temperature? Or how air is transferred into aqueous liquids in a water treatment plant? How can we sterilize milk with the least amount of energy? How does medicine spread in our tissue? Or how do we design a new cooling tower of a power plant? All these are phenomena that involve heat transfer, mass transfer or fluid flow.
Why Take This Course?
In this course, University will look into the underlying concepts of these processes that often take place simultaneously, and will teach you how to apply them to a variety of real-life problems.
Learning Outcomes
- 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.
