Students learn the fundamental principles of transport phenomena and how they can use them to solve engineering problems. The course, which nicely blends physical and mathematical concepts, provides an excellent support to the students for expending/developing the analytical skills built on previous knowledge of mathematics and physics.

Objectives
The objectives of the course are to develop the expertise of students in the following areas:
1. The student gain an understanding the principles of transport of mass, momentum, and heat.
2. The student can write the transport equations.
3. The student can describe transport processes.
4. The student can solve problems.
5. The student can assess the plausibility of his/her solution.
Content
The course covers various topics including:
1. Boundary layers
2. Pipe flows
3. Momentum equations
4. Dimensional analysis
5. Heat transfer phenomena - conduction, convention and radiation
