Materials Science and Engineering 526
Transport Phenomena and Kinetics
Catalog Data:
Transport of heat, mass, and momentum and kinetics as applied to materials processing. Au Qtr. Required.
Prerequisites:
Math 415; Prereq or concur. MSE 341 or permission of the instructor. Not open to students with credit for MSE 522.01.
Time Distribution:
Three-48 minute lectures per week
Objectives:
To provide students with the concepts related to fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and kinetics as applied to processing of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. ABET criteria 3 outcomes a, c, d, e, g, i, j, k.
Textbooks:
David R. Gaskell, "An Introduction to Transport Phenomena in
Materials Engineering" - Macmillan Publishing Company, 1992.
Topics/Content:
I.Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer (5 weeks)
Fluxes, Phenomenological laws, and Conservation laws
Momentum transfer and viscosity
Convective and diffusive momentum transport
Modes of heat transfer (Conduction, Convection, and Radiation)
Steady and unsteady state heat conduction
Heat transfer coefficients
II.Mass Transport (4 weeks)
Fick's law and diffusivity of materials
Mass transfer in fluid systems, mass transfer coefficient
Diffusion as random thermal jumps of atoms (1 d random walk)
Self-diffusion coefficients
Vacancy and interstitial mechanisms of self-diffusion
Diffusion in presence of driving force and mobility
Interdiffusion and Darken’s equation
Simple solution of diffusion equation
Grain boundary and surface diffusion
III. Mixed Kinetics (1 week)
Rate controlling steps in processes
Interface reaction controlled processes
Diffusion controlled processes
Grading Plan:
(1) One homework set each week 10%
(2) One quiz each week (Wednesdays) 10%
(3) Two mid-term examinations 25% each
(4) Final examination 30%
Professional Component Content:
Engineering Science: 2.5 credits or 83%.
Engineering Design: 0.5 credits or 17%.
Design Component Content:
Students learn to apply principles of phase diagrams to the design of alloys and material processes that involve multicomponent systems.
Relation to Program Objectives:
The course is integral to program objectives 1 and 2. It provides students opportunities (1) to learn basic science and engineering concepts of transport phenomena (heat, mass and momentum transfer) and apply them to materials processing and (3) to understand the effect of materials processing on properties or quality of material produced.
Academic Integrity, Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct may be found in any action that tends to distort the accurate assessment of any student’s individual accomplishments that are evaluated for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit. Note that a student may be guilty of academic misconduct, for example, by cheating, collaborating, plagiarizing, or by allowing another student to cheat, collaborate, or plagiarize. Note also that the distortion applies, for example, to exams, homework assignments, and laboratory work. To the extent that any class activity (for example: attendance or participation) is used for evaluation for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit, falsifying or distorting such activity, or permitting another student to falsify or distort such activity, represents academic misconduct.
Additional guidance about what represents academic integrity and misconduct, and related university-wide policies and procedures are available at the following locations:

Course-specific exceptions or amplifications to the departmental and university statements outlined above will be provided by the faculty instructor in writing, preferably as part of the course syllabus.
Note: Students should not request nor accept guidance on these matters from a teaching assistant, fellow student, or anyone other than the faculty instructor of record for this course.
Disabilities Statement
Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 150 Pomerene Hall to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
