General description and relevant information Momentum, heat and mass transfer are phenomena that govern many chemical processes. In this course, the conservation and constitutive equations that govern these transports is emphasized. The course comprises the use of commercial software to solve real heat and mass transfer problems of engineering and nanotechnology significance.
