Purpose of class
The purpose of this lecture is to quantitatively understand transport phenomena, including diffusion, heat transfer, and fluid flow, and to develop the ability to analyze mass and energy transport in materials.
Course description
To manufacture, utilize, and control the reactivity of materials and substances, it is essential to understand the driving forces of mass transport, apply thermodynamic principles, and handle transport phenomena from a kinetics perspective. Additionally, it is necessary to examine whether substances and materials spontaneously react, form, and remain stable, as well as to understand their formation rates and how to manage them. This course focuses on the transport of substances and materials rather than the movement of phenomena within the broader scope of transport phenomena, aiming to enable a quantitative understanding of these processes. First, students will learn to handle diffusion flux based on Fick’s first and second laws, considering both steady-state and non-steady-state conditions as functions of time. Next, diffusion mechanisms will be explained in relation to material structure. Furthermore, viscosity and heat transfer will also be discussed as other key transport phenomena.
Goals and objectives
  1. The fundamental laws of diffusion, heat transfer, and fluid flow can be expressed mathematically based on Fick’s law, Fourier’s law, and Newton’s law of viscosity.
  2. Mass and energy transport in materials can be quantitatively analyzed using the fundamental laws of diffusion, heat transfer, and fluid flow.
  3. The similarities among diffusion, heat conduction, and fluid transport phenomena can be understood and explained using mathematical expressions.
