Handouts will be made available.Required book: "An Introduction to Applied Statistical Thermodynamics", by S. I. Sandler, WILEY (2011)

Prerequisites BSc: Physical Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Basic Calculus (especially manipulations of logarithmic and exponential functions,functions of several variables and their partial derivatives, differentiation of simple functions, 'chain rule', etc.)

Assessment The final grade is determined by the combination of four intermediate short tests, the homework assignments and the final exam.The tests will each consist of 10 multiple choice questions on the lecture material up to the test date.The tests together contribute to the final grade with a weight of 20% (5% each).The main purpose of the homework assignments is to practice with more complex problems, (such as will occur also at theexam).The homework assignments contribute to the final grade with a weight of 10%.The homework will mainly be appreciated for the effort that is made. This effort may include asking for advice with aninstructor.So even a not completely correct answer can earn you maximal points if a serious effert was made.

SoFinal grade = (average test grade)*20/100 + (average homework grade)*10/100 + (exam grade)*70/100.If exam grade > above mentioned weigthed avarage, then the final grade = exam grade.

Tests and the homework only contribute to the final grade with the first scheduled exam after the lectures.With the retake: the final grad = exam grade.

Expected prior knowledge Transport Phenomena (on BSc level), and Molecular Transport Phenomena.

Students should know and be able to formulate conservation laws, in differential microbalance and integral macrobalance form,for energy, mass, components, entropy, charge, etc, for reacting and non-reacting systems.

BSc level math skills. In particular, students should be fluent in multivariable calculus and have a firm background in differentialequations. Most of the text is in tensor notation, and students should be able to use such notation. Students that need to brush uptheir math skills are advised to refresh their knowledge, e.g. using ocw.mit.edu, course 18.02 (freshman math class), especiallylectures 15-31.

Course Contents In many processes in (bio)chemical industrial as well as in health and energy related applications, fluid flow, heat transfer andmass transfer, and chemical reactions interact in a complex way. To reduce complexity, generic rules as to estimatingcharacteristic times, scales and regimes are dealt with. Several techniques are introduced for finding approximate solutions topartial differential equations.

Study Goals The students should be able to analyse and solve practical and more advanced chemical engineering problems. We avoidmemorizing correlations and encyclopedic knowledge, and rather focus on problem solving skills by teaching several genericmethods that can successfully be applied to transport problems.

At the end of this course, the student can:- Solve typical transport problems approximately- Quickly get an idea about the behavior of a system- Gauge the effect of small secondary phenomena - can you ignore them or not?- Reduce complex problems to simpler ones with one of several techniques

Education Method Lectures, supported by exercises and homework assignments.We hand out Study Guides - step by step guides for how to work through the text and exercises. No worked out solutions arehanded out - we have extremely poor experience with learning with the solution at hand. The homework, or rather, the work thatis to be done outside class hours, is to work through the Study Guides. On the evening before class, before 9 PM, questionsrelating to the topic at hand may be posed on Blackboard in the discussion forum. These questions will be discussed in class. It istherefore important that the students keep up with the material and study guides.

Additionally, a TA available one morning per week for face-to-face advise and questions on the course material.

Computer Use No computer is required, although some of the material can be studied faster using mathematica or maple.
