Chemical Engineering 633 - Transport Process

Emphasis on foundation and conceptual understanding of physical phenomena. Focus on prototypes of convective transport and transport processes involving homogeneous and heterogenous reactions; role of boundary conditions including moving boundaries; molecular interpretation of diffusion. Topics may include transport in disordered media and dispersion, coupling between flows and homogeneous reactions, leading to selectivity changes, such as in mixing; e.g., combustion and polymerizations, analysis of processes involving transport in media with time evolving morphologies, coagulation, spinoidal decomposition, transport processes near critical points.
