CBE 30356 - Transport Phenomena II: Heat & Mass Transfer
Schedule
Class
TTh 9:30AM - 10:45PM. Corbett E720
Teaching Approach
Narrated lecture notes will be provided for each class. Each of these will be available through the class website. Students are to view the notes and complete a short quiz for each class on Sakai or Canvas (site to be determined). Students get two tries at the quiz before class (the higher score counts) and two tries after class. The cumulative quiz score will count the same as the mid-term. The in-person class session will be reserved for answering questions, running demonstrations, and help with homework assignments. We will also solve a "problem of the day" selected to illuminate the topic of the day's lecture.

The course notes. These will be generated during the course of the semester and provided on-line with the narrated lecture.
The glossary of terms. This is reference material for Transport I, but as the two classes are very closely related, it should prove useful this term as well!

This is an update of -the- classic text on transport phenomena. Although at a high level, it provides
excellent development and applications of the microscopic equations governing transport. The international version is fine for this class.
Course Outline
Grading
There will be weekly homework assignments (15%), one mid-term examination (25%), a cumulative daily quiz (25%) and a final exam (35%). The weekly homework is designed to teach students how to approach, set up, and solve transport problems. Students are encouraged to discuss homework approaches and solution techniques with each other and with the instructors, however the final version turned in should represent individual work - no copying! "Solution files" from previous semesters are NOT to be used. Homework will be turned in on-line. Exams are closed books and notes, and are returned individually in class.
