Catalog Description:
Introduction to basic concepts of momentum, heat and mass transfer. Transport by molecular motion and in laminar flow in one dimension. Transport between two phases, and in large flow systems. (For non-Chemical Engineering Students)

Course Objectives:
This course is intended to be an introduction to the field of transport phenomena for students of engineering and applied sciences. The subjects of viscous flow, energy transport, and mass transport are treated in continua. Understanding of basic physical principles is emphasized and their applications are demonstrated with examples.

Prerequisites:
MATH 152, CHEM 102, PHYS 106 or equivalent freshman courses.
