General description and relevant information The mass, energy and momentum transport are phenomena that govern many chemical processes. The conservation and constitutive equations of these transport processes will be presented. Specific software to solve the final equations will be used and applied to illustrate its use in technical processes, including nanotechnology.
Because of the termination of the course you are studying, this subject is driven by tutorship. For more information, read the professor's meeting timetable.
