Mass, Momentum, and Energy Transport

How do you design a drug delivery system that will kill a tumor but not the patient? What are the major constraints in building a new artificial heart? Why are some cooling systems more efficient than others? A strong understanding of transport phenomena is essential for solving these and other grand challenges facing society. This course combines applied mathematics with fundamental physics to promote an intuitive understanding of steady and unsteady heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics. We will focus on key applications in processes related to biology, energy, materials, and chemical synthesis.
