Offered by: Bioengineering (Faculty of Engineering)

Overview

BIEN : Basic concepts in transport phenomena, including fluid dynamics (momentum transport) and heat transfer (energy transport), with applications to biological systems, both medical and non-medical. Topics in fluid dynamics include: properties of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids; dimensional analysis; drag; integral/macroscopic balances (Bernoulli's equation and linear momentum theorem); differential/microscopic balances (continuity and Navier-Stokes equations); boundary layer approximations; turbulence. Topics in heat transfer include elements of conduction and convection.

Terms: Fall 2019

Instructors: Nicolau, Dan; Zimmermann, Elizabeth (Fall)

  • Prerequisite(s): BIEN 200, MATH 263, BIEN 300 or permission by instructor.

  • Restriction: Only for Bioengineering students. Not open to students who have taken CHEE 314
