6. Specific goals for the course
a. The student will…
- perform vector and tensor analysis;
- formulate momentum, heat, and mass transport equations;
- analyze and solve macroscopic momentum, heat, and mass balances for steady and quasi-steady-state problems;
- formulate the transport phenomena in boundary layer;
- compare the difference in between laminar and turbulent flows;
- differentiate polymeric and non-Newtonian fluids; and,
- demonstrate the analogies between momentum, heat and mass transfer problems.
b. Criterion 3 Student Outcomes specifically addressed by this course are found in a mapping of outcomes against all CHME courses in the curriculum.
