Course Objectives

Equip students with knowledge to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems related with momentum transfer.  Develop skills in integrating mathematics, science and engineering knowledge to asses flow behavior, storage and transfer of fluids during food processing.


Course Content

Introduction to unit operations of food engineering and momentum transfer. General concepts of fluid flow. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Macroscopic mass, momentum and energy balances. Friction factors, flow around submerged objects. Dimensional analysis. Flow metering and transport devices. Fluid mixing. Mechanical separation processes. Engineering ethics, responsibilities, health and safety considerations.


Course Learning Outcomes

The student will be able to  

  • apply basic knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to momentum transfer

  • take new information and effectively integrate with previous knowledge

  • state ideas clearly

  • demonstrate an awareness of what is learned in classroom applies to food industry

  • understand professional and ethical responsibility

  • improve self-learning skills
