Transport Phenomena

Prerequisite: BIOL 3170, CHEM 2050, and ENGB 3001

Covers fundamental transportation phenomena in living systems with a focus on momentum and mass transport in biological systems. Topics include: material and energy balances, kinetics, chemical and physical transport processes with applications in artificial and bioartificial organ development, controlled drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, thermodynamics, body fluids, osmosis and membrane filtration, blood flow, solute and oxygen transport, pharmacokinetic analysis, and extracorporeal devices.
