Teaching Assistant for ChE 151a
Graduate course, California Institute of Technology, Chemical Engineering, 2021
Term I focused on the application of perturbation theory to the analysis of thermal and concentration boundary layers.
Syllabus
The foundations of heat, mass, and momentum transfer for single and multiphase fluids will be developed. Governing differential equations; laminar flow of incompressible fluids at low and high Reynolds numbers; forced and free convective heat and mass transfer, diffusion, and dispersion. Emphasis will be placed on physical understanding, scaling, and formulation and solution of boundary-value problems. Applied mathematical techniques will be developed and used throughout the course.
