Prerequisite(s):
General Physics; Thermodynamics; Physical chemistry; ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation).
Course Description:
The course is an important basic course for graduate students majored in chemical engineering and technology. Momentum, heat and mass transfer, and reaction engineering are the basic of process industry, such as chemical engineering, petrochemical, biochemical, pharmaceutics, metallurgical and light industry. This course introduces the basic law of momentum, heat and mass transfer and the similarity between them, and the basic method of quantitative research. Taking field theory as main line, the course starts from the physical concepts to the introduction of the tensor and field theory, then establish general differential equations and analysis methods for simplifying and solving practical problems by detailed examples. Implementing the “fever but better” and “in depth” principles, the main aim of the course is to emphasis on cultivating students’ ability of comprehension and application. For graduate students who engaged in scientific research in the future, this course is favorable for how to start and think.
