Abstract

This course will introduce mass transport, heat conduction, charge transport, and flow in viscous liquids, with emphasis on their shared foundation in diffusive processes.

Objective

Students will learn how to create models describing transport processes. They will solve the resulting equations both analytically and numerically. They will apply these results to design materials processes and understand real-life experiments. A key takeaway will be the ability to construct simple order-of magnitude estimates and scaling relationships that can be applied to efficient data analysis and design.
