Objectives

This course is an introduction to the physics of heat and mass transport. It will give the basis to answer all kinds of questions and problems ranging from : why is my coffee cold way before it is sweetened by sugar ? and : how long can I stand on top of Everest without gloves ? to : how to a design a microchip to capture biomolecules efficiently ? how many showers can I take with a 10 meter square solar heater ? what do cetaceans and solar heaters have in common ? why mixing in turbulent flows is so efficient ?


  • Local transport equations and macroscopic balances
  • Radiative heat transport
  • Heat and mass transport by molecular diffusion
  • Transport with a laminar flow. Coupling between diffusion and advection. Transport boundary layers
  • Thermal convection
  • Turbulent mixing
