This course aims to introduce students in the combined study of the transport of energy, mass and momentum. They will acquire knowledge on the basic laws governing these three phenomena, closely related, so that they can formulate mathematical models that represent the fundamentals of the real problems of chemical processes. After completing the course, the student should be able to:
•Apply the laws governing the transport of momentum, energy and mass, and interrelate the three phenomena.
•Develop complex mathematical models that represent real systems in steady and non-steady states.
•Develop models to obtain individual and global transport coefficients to solve real problems.
The contents are developed in 3.0 ECTS and are briefly referred to in the descriptor of the course in the curriculum of the Master in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. These are: "Balance microscopic. Rate equations. Conservation equations. Molecular transport in steady and unsteady. Transport between phases. Analogies. Models for the simultaneous transport of more than one property: Stationary and non-stationary, with and without chemical reaction, analysis of different geometries."
Considering the descriptors above, the program of the course will be structured as follows:
Chapter 1.- Momentum transport
Topic 1.- Introduction to transport phenomena. Levels of description of transport phenomena. Nomenclature. Viscosity and momentum transport mechanisms: Newton's law of viscosity. Generalization of Newton's law.
Topic 2.- Shell momentum balances. Velocity distributions for one-dimensional flow in laminar regime at steady state. Boundary conditions.
Topic 3.- The equations of Changes for isothermal systems: Equation of continuity. Equation of motion . Use of equations of changes to solve flow problems.
Topic 4.- Momentum transport in turbulent flow: Introduction to turbulent flow. Empirical expressions for the turbulent momentum flux. Introduction to individual and global transport coefficients.
Chapter 2.- Energy transport
Topic 5.- Transport by conduction, thermal conductivity. Fourier's law. Equations of chenges for non-isothermal systems in steady state. Shell energy balances, bounday conditions. Temperature distribution in solids.
Topic 6.- Convective transport. Transport coefficients. Forced and free convection. Temperature distribution in laminar flow.
Topic 7.- Equations of changes for non-isothermal systems. Shell energy balances, bounday conditions.
Chapter 3.- Mass Transport
Topic 8.- Fundamentals and general concepts of mass transport. Fick's law of diffusion. Diffusivity and the mechanist of mass transport. Equations of changes for different geometries. Most common boundary conditions.
Topic 9.- Diffusion in steady state with chemical reaction. Heterogeneous chemical reaction. Homogeneous chemical reaction.
Chapter 4.- Analogies between energy transport and mass transport and momentum transport.
