Course Objectives The main aim of this course is to analyze momentum, heat, and mass transfer processes. Derivation of equations of conservation and determination of boundary conditions in detail shall be realized. Investigating turbulent modelling; explanation of the transfer mechanisms for momentum, heat and mass; analysis of the hydrodynamic, thermal, and concentration boundary layers are also covered.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Define momentum, heat, and mass transfer mechanisms and explain them
  • Derive equations of conservation and simplify them according to the system that is studied
  • Compare microscopic and macroscopic scale convection processes
  • Perform momentum and heat transfer calculations in simple bioengineering problems
  • Explain what mass transfer coefficient is and its mechanism (driving force)
  • Determine the effects of the properties of fluids on momentum, heat and mass transfer in terms of dimensionless numbers such as Reynolds, Nusselt, etc.
  • Solve separation problems that are observed in bioengineering systems by using mass transfer analysis methods.
Course Description This course covers equations of conservation and boundary conditions; viscosity and momentum transfer mechanism; boundary layer flows; turbulent modelling; thermal conductivity and energy transfer mechanism; thermal boundary layers; diffusion and mass transfer mechanism; concentration boundary layer and numerical solution of simple-geometry convection problems.
