Transport and Chemical Rate Phenomena

Discussion of fluid dynamics, momentum transfer, heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation), and mass transfer (diffusion, convection), introductory chemical kinetics and thermodynamics. Emphasis is on high temperature applications (combustion, metal reduction, etc.). Heat and mass transfer correlations, physical and chemical properties of materials.

by Prof. Nickolas J. Themelis

Chemicals, metals and other materials are produced by means of a series of unit operations each of which involves a number of simultaneous, or sequential, phenomena: the transfer of momentum or kinetic energy, the transfer of heat and mass, and chemical reactions between different phases. In general, such processes involve a number of physical and chemical transformations. The rate of these transformations determines, by and large, the cost of production of such materials.
