Course content
In recent years, research relating to thermal and materials transport phenomena are also targeting microscale phenomena, and unique perspectives and prediction methods are being developed and established. This course will provide insight into the surface tension effect which works remarkably in microscale phenomena, and next provide basic information on various theories relating to transport phenomena when viewed at the molecular level, as well as the molecular dynamics method which is recently being applied over a wide range.
Purpose of class
To obtain fundamental knowledge about surface tension issues and molecular kinetic theory.
Goals and objectives
  1. To learn the basic theroy and the calculation method about free surface geometry and working forces which are caused by surface tension in small scale phenomena.
  2. To obtain the fundamental knowledge about molecular kinetic theory and molecular dynamics in relation to transport phenomena.
  3. To obtain the knowledge about how the surface tension mechanics and theories are applied in practical problems.

Evaluation method and criteria
Presentations on assigned topics 30% and report contents 70%. A total grade of 60% or higher will be required to pass. 60% llevel means that the student can understand related theory and equations (surface tension or molecular motion) and analyze his data to some extent when he encounters microscale transport phenomena.
Textbooks and reference materials
Necessary materials will be handed out in the class.
