Transport Phenomena in Biomolecular Systems

Biomedical EngineeringEN - Schulich School of Engineering

Subject

BMEN - Biomedical Engineering

Description

Basic concepts in transport phenomena, including fluid dynamics (momentum transport), mass (molecular 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; differential/microscopic balances (continuity and Navier-Stokes equations); boundary layer approximations. Topics in mass transfer include transport of chemicals in channels, diffusive and convective molecular transport. Topics in heat transfer include elements of conduction and convection.

Prerequisite(s): Biomedical Engineering 300 and 322.

Additional Information and Resources

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation within Alberta (including Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
