Syllabus
Week 1: Microbalances in Transport Phenomena
- A short summary of microbalances in tubular reactors (plug flow), with in parallel the introduction of the ‘microbalance’ for subjects which were not covered in TP101x Transport Phenomena, such as Fourier and Fick's law in different geometries (diffusion through membranes).
Week 2: The momentum balance
- The momentum balance is a new subject and can be combined with mass and energy balance.
- Introduction of the pressure drop by means of a force balance and the definition of the friction factor for tubes, bends and other pipe connections. A link can be made to the mechanical energy balance.
Week 3: Convection: Mass and Heat transport
- Convective transport is much more powerful than diffusion. It is also much more complex and in most cases can only be treated using (dimensionless) correlations for the transfer coefficients.
- Along with convective heat transfer the analogy is introduced with mass transfer.
Week 4: Mass transfer
- Mass transfer between two phases is introduced. Further the partition coefficient between two phases is explained.
Week 5: Laminar flow
- Definition of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids and the derivation of the velocity profile between two parallel flat plates and in a tube.
Week 6: Radiation
- Introduction of the radiation; heat transfer (Stefan-Boltzmann).
- Illustration by its relevance in practice (radiation, emission, transparency, “grey” bodies).
Prerequisite
- We strongly recommend 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

Delft University of Technology (in Dutch: Technische Universiteit Delft), better known as TU Delft, is the oldest and largest public university in the Netherlands.
It is based in Delft, in the Netherlands. In the QS World University Rankings 2022, it is ranked among the top 10 engineering and technology universities in the world. In architecture and civil engineering, it was ranked 2nd in the world, after MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
Platform
Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Berkeley, are just some of the schools that you have at your fingertips with EdX. Through massive open online courses (MOOCs) from the world's best universities, you can develop your knowledge in literature, math, history, food and nutrition, and more. These online classes are taught by highly-regarded experts in the field. If you take a class on computer science through Harvard, you may be taught by David J. Malan, a senior lecturer on computer science at Harvard University for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. But there's not just one professor - you have access to the entire teaching staff, allowing you to receive feedback on assignments straight from the experts. Pursue a Verified Certificate to document your achievements and use your coursework for job and school applications, promotions, and more. EdX also works with top universities to conduct research, allowing them to learn more about learning. Using their findings, edX is able to provide students with the best and most effective courses, constantly enhancing the student experience.
