Class Notes

Index Notation

This semester we will make use of index notation alongside standard vector notation. Detailed notes describing the properties and some uses of index notation are given here.

Last Year's Notes

Web Based Explorations

In addition to class readings, I recommend that you further explore interesting topics in transport phenomena by using the resources available on the web. To this end, each day's lecture will also have a link to a website I found interesting. An index of these sites is provided here.

References

Several texts have been placed on reserve in the Engineering Library that may be of use. These are:


• R. L. Panton, Incompressible flow, New York : Wiley, 1984.
  This text provides a description of index notation in Chapter 3.
  
  
• J. R. Welty, C. E. Wicks, R. E. Wilson, and G. L. RorrerFundamentals of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, 4th ed.,New York : Wiley, 2000.
  This text provides a useful introduction to integral momentum balances in Chapters 1-5.
  
  
• R. B. Bird, W. E. Stewart and E. N. Lightfoot, Transport phenomena, New York, Wiley, 2001.
  This is an update (after 40 years!) of -the- classic text on transport phenomena. Although at a high level, it provides excellent development and applications of the microscopic equations governing transport. Chapters 1-8 are appropriate for this course.
