Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of Heat, Mass and Momentum Conservation Equations, with specific applications to the Process Industry. He or she will acquire knowledge of simple physical models of transport phenomena, of the basic equations which allow the closure of these models and of the analytical methods which can be adopted for their solution.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- In the written exam the student must demonstrate his/her capacity to set up and solve simple model equations relative to Momentum Transport and Fluid Mechanics. - In the oral exam the student's ability to explain correctly the main topics presented during the course will be assessed.

Syllabus
This is the first course where students learn how to tackle problems related to the transport of mass, energy and momentum. Its fundamental feature is to present a unifying, coherent formulation, that is valid for all types of transport phenomena, since mass, energy and momentum fluxes are expressed as the sum of a convective and a diffusive component, where the latter is modeled as the random motion of a tracer (i.e., of mass, energy and momentum). At the end, this general theory is applied to describe the motion of fluids and the transport of heat and mass, with particular emphasis on the innumerable applications that are encountered in engineering.
