Teaching Assistant for ChE 151b
Graduate course, California Institute of Technology, Chemical Engineering, 2021
Term II focused on advanced fluid mechanics topics, such as applications of Stokes flow to Brownian motion, electrophoresis, and boundary layers in two-dimensional domains.
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.
