This note
deals with solid-state diffusion, homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical
reactions, and spinodal decomposition. Topics covered include: heat conduction
in solids, convective and radiative heat transfer boundary conditions; fluid
dynamics, 1-D solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, boundary layer theory,
turbulent flow, and coupling with heat conduction and diffusion in fluids to
calculate heat and mass transfer coefficients.
