Course Name: Continuum Mechanics and Transport Phenomena

Course abstract

This is a unique course which introduces continuum mechanics and transport phenomena to the second year student. The main objective of this course is to relate the laws of physics to the conservation equations of transport phenomena. Continuum mechanics brings out the analogy between solid and fluid mechanics. Transport phenomena brings out the analogy between the transport of momentum, energy and mass.
