Course Objectives: This course is designed as a graduate level course in transport phenomena. A rigorous treatment of the conservation equations and boundary conditions is provided. Mechanisms of momentum, heat and mass transfer are discussed. Analysis of boundary-layers for momentum, temperature and concentration are presented. Turbulence modeling is discussed. ANSYS Fluent software is used to obtain CFD solutions to some problems with simple geometries
