Subject Description

The objective of this subject is to develop a basic understanding of fundamental concepts involved in momentum, heat and mass transfer in complex fluids and across interfaces; and to be able to solve problems involving transport of heat, mass and momentum in industrial situations. Momentum Transport - Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids; development of multidimensional equations of continuity and for heat, mass and momentum transfer; applications of the equation of motion to tube flow, Couette flow, Stokes flow, etc.; examination of non·Newtonian flow theory; approximate solutions via creeping flow, potential flow and boundary layer theory; turbulence, including models for Reynolds stresses to generate universal velocity profile; friction factors for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Heat Transfer multi dimensional conduction problems, fins. Mass Transfer Fick's Law, physical meaning of diffusivity; multidimensional mass transfer problems.

Assessment

One class test as well as computer-based tutorial work during semester 1 contributing 35% to the final mark, as well as an examination not exceeding three-hours at the end of semester 1, contributing 65% to the final mark
