Graduate Catalog |CHEG 571 TRANSPORT PHENOMENAPrinciples of momentum, heat, and mass transfer with application to chemical processes; Flow in ducts, aroundsubmerged objects and through a packed bed. Diffusion of heat and mass; Convective heat and mass transfer;Turbulent flow. Introduction to CFD.Pre-requisites CHEG 351 and CHEG 361Co-requisites NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)CHEG 575 MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND CORROSIONThis course presents fundamental material on corrosion and oxidation thermodynamics and electrochemicalthermodynamics. The course then describes commonly encountered corrosion environments and discusses typicalforms of corrosion encountered in each environment. Methods of corrosion control are then described, and the courseconcludes with a description of important corrosion and oxidation monitoring techniques.Pre-requisites Instructor’s consentCo-requisites NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)CHEG 581 POLYMER REACTION ENGINEERINGChemistry and thermodynamics of polymers and polymer solutions.
