Transport
Phenomena is the subject which deals with the movement of different physical
quantities in any chemical or mechanical process and describes the basic
principles and laws of transport. It also describes the relations and
similarities among different types of transport that may occur in any system.
This lecture notes explains the following : Introduction, Time derivatives in
transport phenomena, Momentum transport , Newton’s Law of Viscosity, Laminar and
turbulent flow, Reynolds’s experiment, Equation of Motion, Heat conduction
through a composite wall, etc.

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.
