BIOENG 1220 - BIOTRANSPORT PHENOMENAMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 Biotransport Phenomena follows logically from BioThermodynamics (BIOENG 1210). While thermodynamics looks at systems in equilibrium, transport phenomena looks at systems disrupted from equilibrium. The fundamental principles of momentum, heat, and mass transfer are developed and illustrated through applications to practical and classical paradigms of transport in biological, physiological, and biomedical processes. Students are introduced to the use of conservation balances to describe microscopic and macroscopic properties of a system. Course Objectives: Upon completing the course, the student should be able to describe the fundamental principles pertaining to momentum, heat, and mass transport and apply the fundamental principles to set up and solve problems in physiological systems and design of medical devices. Academic Career: Undergraduate Course Component: Lecture Grade Component: Letter Grade Course Requirements: PREQ: BIOENG 1210; PLAN: Bioengineering (BSE or BEH)
