Course Goals / Objectives:
Define each term in the overall equation of continuity, the equation of continuity for a species, the laws of diffusion, and the Navier-Stokes equation of motion
Apply momentum and mass balances to describe standard transport problems, and when possible, solve them analytically
Utilize (and, in certain cases, solve analytically) the same conservation equations to describe biotransport problems
