Fundamentals of conductive, convective, and radiative modes of heat transfer with applications in the design of heat exchanges.

Definition of viscosity, elements of laminar and turbulent flow, and overall mechanical energy balance. Thermal conductivity, steady and transient conduction problems, forced and natural convection, heat transfer, and radiative heat transfer. Definition of binary diffusivity, convection mass transfer, and mass transfer coefficient. The application of the principles covered in the design of specific metallurgical systems.

Mechanisms of drug transport in various pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological systems. Elucidation of methods to characterize drug transport phenomena. Correlation of transport phenomena with drug disposition in the body. Emphasis on peptide, protein, and oligonucleotide drugs.

This course is designed to present a detailed analysis of physiological membranes and the physical principles governing the movement of solute and water across these barriers.

Applications of heat and mass transfer phenomena. Fins and heat exchangers, single-stage separation (vapor- liquid, liquid-liquid, gas/liquid-solid) and cascade separation (extraction, absorption/stripping, distillation, membranes).

Basic principles governing transport of energy and mass; application of these principles to analysis and design of processes involving biological, environmental and agricultural systems.

Basics and applications of fluid mechanics including statics, mass, energy, momentum balances, laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds number, Moody diagram, non-Newtonian fluid flow, multi-phase flow, flow in porous media, non-Darcy flow; heat transfer, heat conduction, convection and heat exchangers; emphasis on analogies and similarities within mass, energy and momentum transport.

Course presents a systematic treatment of classical and anomalous transport theory for gases, plasmas, energetic particles, and low frequency turbulence. The Chapman-Enskog approach is used to derive transport coefficients for neutral gases and collisional plasmas. The relationship between multi-fluid and MHD models is presented. Weak solutions and shock waves are discussed.

This theory course is designed to provide the registered nurse with a foundation of conceptual knowledge and competencies for the continued development of, and transition to, the professional nurse role. This course will examine conceptual frameworks, philosophies, professional development, ethical practice, current trends in healthcare, and quality and safety in nursing.

This course is designed to introduce students to trap and skeet shooting as well as etiquette will be strongly emphasized. An additional fee is required to cover ammunition protection. Students must provide their own transportation to the shooting range.
