ME 447/547: Transfer and Rate Processes
Note the room change: class meets in Science Building 2, Room 108,
not in Lincoln Hall, Room 249
Last modified Monday, 16-Oct-2006 21:21:29 PDT
Transport and Rate Processes is a core course in the graduate Thermal
and Fluid Sciences Curriculum. It is also available to seniors in engineering
and related disciplines. The primary focus of the course is mass transfer by diffusion
and convection. Analogies to heat transfer, and combined heat and mass transfer
will also be discussed.
Topics in mass transfer will be treated by (1) developing an appropriate differential
model, (2) obtaining a solution (perhaps approximate) to that model, and (3) exercising
the model in an engineering design context. The problems considered will almost
exclusively have one dimension of spatial variation, and in some case will
include transient behavior.

One midterm exam lasting one class period will be given. The final exam
will be comprehensive. Cumulative grades will be based on the following weights.
-
- 30% homework
- 10% research report
- 30% midterm exam
- 30% final exam
ME 547 Grading:
Students registered for ME 547 are expected to produce an independent
project commensurate with their advanced standing. A project
pertinent to their thesis research is encouraged, but not required.
Extra homework problems (beyond those required of ME 447 students)
may be assigned.
