Course Objectives It is aimed the student to be able to write and understand microscopic and macroscopic momentum, energy and mass balances, estimate values for necessary transport properties, and develop mathematical models based on the differential equations of momentum, heat and mass transfer and their simplified forms.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the mechanisms of momentum, heat and mass transfer.
  • Compare momentum, heat and mass transfer at the microscopic and macroscopic levels.
  • Design momentum, heat and mass transfer models for a given system.
  • Identify momentum, heat and mass transfer boundary conditions for a given system.
  • Derive mathematical models describing the physical behavior of the system.
  • Apply momentum, heat and mass transfer balances in solving related engineering problems.
Course Description The main topics included in this course are coordinate systems, initial and boundary conditions of differential equations, transport mechanisms, and the following fundamental laws of momentum, heat and mass transfer: Newton's law of viscosity, Fourier's law of heat conduction and Fick's law of diffusion, momentum, energy and mass balances at microscopic and macroscopic levels, dimensional analysis, Buckigham-π Theorem and their applications.
