Synopsis
This course deals with solid-state diffusion, homogeneous and
heterogeneous chemical reactions, and spinodal decomposition.
Topics covered include: heat conduction in solids, convective and
radiative heat transfer boundary conditions; fluid dynamics, 1-D
solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, boundary layer theory,
turbulent flow, and coupling with heat conduction and diffusion
in fluids to calculate heat and mass transfer coefficients.
