Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Rutgers University
Instructor: Professor Prabhas V. Moghe
Course Outline
• Simple Molecular Transport
Steady-state diffusion/conduction across "films" (shell balances) ;Transport in dilute solutions; transient transport into "semi-infinite media" ; Review of mathematical treatment of partial differential equations; Transport in concentrated solutions- diffusion-induced convection & velocities; General mass, species, energy balances & dimensionless analysis
• Transport with Convection
Film, penetration (Higbie & Leveque), surface renewal theories; Boundary Layer Theory: exact, approximate; concentrated solutions; Turbulent pipe flow (optional) Dispersion (optional); Free Convection (optional)
• Transport with Isothermal Reaction
Diffusion with homogeneous reaction: gas absorption; porous catalysts; Moving Boundary Problems (optional); Case Study: Blood Oxygenation in hollow fiber oxygenators OR Oxygen Carriers in Encapsulated Membranes; Diffusion analysis with "fast" homogeneous reaction (perturbation theory) (optional); Diffusion- and dispersion-controlled homogeneous reactions
• Multicomponent Transport (optional)
Multicomponent Diffusion; Energy Balances for multicomponent solutions
• Coupled Mass and Energy Transport
Evaporation and condensation Fog formation; Solidification of a binary alloy (optional)
• Transport with other physico-chemical effects
Microscopic theory of transport (optional) ; Transport in heterogeneous sytems- dilute dispersions; anisotropic diffusion (optional); Heterogeneous systems continued - volume-averaging theory; interspersions (optional)
