Master's Thesis.

Topics of interest to graduate students; reports of research ideas, progress, and results; lectures by outside speakers. Must be taken twice for 1.00 credit. Students register for 0.00 credits for all other semesters in ChE graduate program.

This course is a graduate level engineering course designed to review the governing relations of momentum, heat, and transfer at an advanced level for students who have already been exposed to transport at the undergraduate level. Principal concepts will be illustrated through their application to classical and practical paradigms in transport phenomena. Students will learn useful analytical methods for studying and solving steady state and unsteady state (transient) transport problems with and without fluid convection. Prior to taking this course, completion of the following courses are required; fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer.
