Transport Processes: Course Description

This course examines the underlying principles of mass and heat transfer so that you can apply these principles to real-world applications in chemical engineering. Specific topics include heat exchangers, internal flow, conservation of energy, extended surfaces, transient and steady diffusion, transient conduction, radiation processes, mass transfer and boundary layers among other topics. The course is designed for chemical engineering students, but other engineering disciplines may benefit. The actual undergraduate MIT course is taught by Professors Clark Colton and Kenneth Smith and Doctor William Dalzell in lecture and recitation-style formats.

This OpenCourseWare includes assignments, quizzes, exams, example problems, recitation study problems and external links to relevant course material. If you're interested in taking this free course, visit the transport processes course page.
