Course details

More about this course
  • Transport phenomena like heat transfer, mass transfer, and momentum transfer are vital to the study of chemical engineering. Understanding them is the key to developing advanced separation techniques.
  • This six-week course from Taipei Medical University (TMU) provides a comprehensive overview of transport phenomena, with a particular focus on diffusion, mass transfer, and convection. Once you've understood the fundamentals of all three processes, you'll learn how to analyse them using coefficient models.
  • You'll start the course with an overview of the basic concepts and mechanisms of three transport phenomena: diffusion, convection, and mass transfer.
  • You'll explore different types of diffusion and mass transfer, learning how you can identify them in everyday life.
  • Once you've understood the principles of diffusion, convection, and mass transfer, you'll begin mastering equations for analysing them. You'll focus on two basic models for analysis, known as the diffusion coefficient model and the mass transfer coefficient model.
  • By the end of the course, you'll have a deeper understanding of essential transport phenomena, and the skills you need to undertake advanced separation techniques.
