Overview
The transport of mass, momentum and energy are key aspects of nature and in our daily life. These phenomena are therefore the cornerstone of almost all (if not all) process industries, from traditional mechanical and chemical engineering through state-of-the-art or future energy industries such as semiconductor production or wind-turbine manufacture. Anyone embarking on a career in these industries, will have to be adept at:
- recognizing the fundamental elements in existing industry processes
- analyzing these processes in a mathematical way
- improving these processes by redesigning them
This program offers the chance for the participant to understand the fundamental transport processes, learn how to model these processes and apply the knowledge gained from this modeling to new examples/cases.
The program starts by demonstrating the role of balance equations in capturing a dynamic transport process. Subsequently, macro-scale processes are analyzed and modeled using the balance equations. Examples are drawn from mass transport, heat transfer and momentum transfer. Following this, a new type of balance equation, called micro-balance, is introduced to cover the most fundamental laws of transport phenomena.
The Transport Phenomena Professional Certificate in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) - DelftX will also include many case studies of applications of these methods in various industries, including a heat exchanger in chemical process industry, and, dissolution time of a tablet in water from the pharmaceutical industry.
Job Outlook
- All process engineering jobs in mechanical, chemical, and metallurgical engineering essentially require an understanding of fundamental transport phenomena.
- Renewable resources industries, which are flourishing in most parts of the world, require impeccable knowledge of transport processes.
