Advanced Transport Phenomena

Learn how to tackle complex mass and heat transfer problems and apply the results in your own environment. How can you reduce the energy loss of your home? What is the underlying science of energy loss in pipes? Which heat and mass transfer problems do we have to tackle to make consumer products? In this engineering course, you will learn about the engineering principles that play an important role in all of these and more phenomena.

You will learn about microbalances, radiation, convection, diffusion and more and their applications in everyday life. This advanced course is for engineers who want to refresh their knowledge, engineering students who are eager to learn more about heat/mass transport and for all who have fun in explaining the science of phenomena in nature.

• Microbalance and an overview of heat conduction and diffusion problems.
• To calculate the pressure loss over pipe and pipeline systems.
• The definition of convective transport of heat and mass transfer and how you can apply it.
• The distribution of components over immiscible phase and the importance of this distribution for many applications.
• The difference in flow behaviour of water and toothpaste and the reasons of this difference.
• The definitions of heat radiation, black and grey bodies, and how to calculate the heat loss by radiation.

This is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that runs on edX.   Prerequisites We strongly recommend the MOOC The Basics of Transport Phenomena as a prerequisite for this MOOC, but if you are familiar with mass and heat transport phenomena you will be able to follow the course as well. Basic knowledge of calculus (derivative, integral, simple differential equations) Thermodynamics (concepts of first and second law, properties of fluids, heat effects) High school physics

6 Weeks, 8 - 10 Hours per week

The two-level mutual trust-based quality assurance scheme has been adopted:

• at the university level: Technische Universiteit Delft has applied its internal quality assurance procedures and structures to the proposal of Advanced Transport Phenomena it submitted to ENHANCE and to its implementation - the related learning activities,
• at the Alliance level: the body composed of Education Officers has made decisions regarding the inclusion of Advanced Transport Phenomena proposed by Technische Universiteit Delft to the Innovative Learning Campus part of the joint ENHANCE educational offer, based on the compliance with the formal requirements and ENHANCE goals.

Starts anytime / Self-paced

At the beginning of each course, you will have access to the assessment methods and criteria. Most of the assignments are completed throughout the course, but in some cases you might need to do a proctored exam at the end.

Chartered Engineering Competences All our online courses and programs have been matched to the competences determined by KIVI’s Competence Structure , a common frame of reference for everyone, across all disciplines, levels and roles.  These competences apply to this course: A1: Extend your theoretical knowledge of new and advancing technologies.
