Transport Phenomena

This course covers: The course mainly focuses on the importance of heat and mass transfer in our life, engineering applications and deals with the fundamentals of it. This course extends the fundamentals of fluids mechanics in a unified framework for the transfer of momentum, heat and mass. There is an emphasis on steady and transient heat condition, force convection, and natural convection and radiation accompanied by an introduction to heat exchangers design and mass transfer.
