Overview
What you will study
Transport phenomena deals with the exchange of mass, energy, and momentum between systems, which plays an important role in engineered and natural systems. The Transport Phenomena, Advanced Course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology provides a systematic analysis and fundamental understanding of transport phenomena and its mathematical description which builds the foundation of modern simulation software packages.
After passing the course the student will be able to:- apply the shell balance approach to derive differential mass and heat balance equations in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates
- apply the generalized differential mass and heat balance equations and the Navier-Stokes equations to analyze transport problems
- analyze transport problems in simple geometries and derive analytically the concentration, temperature or velocity distribution
- analyze transport problems in complex geometries and calculate numerically the concentration, temperature, or velocity distribution using a simulation software
- apply the concept of transfer coefficients to describe mass and heat transfer across interfaces
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- the concept of transport equations
- the distribution of concentration, temperature, and velocity in time and space.
- the use of transport equations
- chemical and biological reactors, membrane separators, heat exchangers, cooling fins, and flows in pipes and channels
- how software packages such as Comsol use transport equations to simulate coupled transport processes in complex geometries
- tubular reactors, absorption columns, fuel cells, and flows around heating elements
- time-dependent diffusion, diffusion in concentrated systems, derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations, boundary layer theory, basics of turbulence, and multiphase flows
- transfer coefficients and the use of Nusselt and Sherwood correlations

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
