Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the method of volume averaging and thus identify the origin and limitations of the equations that describe mass, momentum, and energy transport in multiphase systems.
Course Content
Transport equations for mass, momentum and energy in multicomponent systems; jump conditions at phase interfaces; the spatial averaging theorem and the method of volume averaging; flow in porous media. Darcys law for one and two phase flows; dispersion of heat and mass in bundles of capillary tubes; the general problem of dispersion in porous media.
Course Learning Outcomes
Four transport processes are be studied during the course:
- Diffusion, hetererogeneous reaction in a porous medium
- Transient Heat Conduction in Two-Phase Systems
- Dispersion in Porous Media
- Single-Phase Flow in Porous Media (Darcy's Law)
They have been chosen in order to illustrate certain concepts associated with local volume averaging. This procedure is used to derive the governing differential equations for homogenous systems.
