Objective:
The objective of this course is the study of the Transport Phenomena of quantity of movement, energy and matter, which constitute the theoretical base that helps to understand many of the transformations that take place in the industry. Transport phenomena are of interest in new research fields such as biotechnology, microelectronics, nanotechnology and polymer science.
Learning outcomes:
The objective of the selection of the content of this course is to introduce the elements of the subject that the students of this formative level should know in order to deduce the balance equations of a process under study, that is, the mathematical expressions that relate the factors involved in this process, to try to predict its evolution. The contents allow to establish the necessary tools for the subsequent analysis of various transport processes and their properties.

Variation of transport properties with pressure and temperature. Corresponding state diagrams. Convective transport and turbulent flow. Transport properties near the critical point.
2 - MOMENTUM TRANSPORT IN NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS
Non-Newtonian Fluids: General Considerations Non-Newtonian behavior with and without memory effect. Characterization of non-Newtonian fluids. Practical effects of non-Newtonian fluid behaviour. Influence of non-Newtonian behaviour on the transport of matter and energy.
3 - TRANSPORT PROPERTIES FROM A TECHNICAL APPROACH
Determination of the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Determination of thermal conductivity. Determination of the diffusion coefficient. Determination of high-pressure transport properties: latest advances and future challenges.
4 - ESTIMATION MODELS OF TRANSPORT PROPERTIES
Estimation of properties by means of statistical mechanics. Analysis of Fick, Newton and Fourier laws in diluted gases. Rigorous Chapman-Enskog theory. Viscosity estimation for diluted and dense gases. Viscosity of liquids: Hard Sphere Model, Eyring Model, Free Volume and Friction Theory. Conductivity estimation for diluted and dense gases. Heat conductivity of liquids: Hard Sphere model, Bridgman model and Latini equation. Friction theory. Estimation of the diffusion coefficient of diluted and dense gases. Stokes-Einstein ratio. Thermodynamic scaling.
5 - VELOCITY, ENERGY AND CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION
Motion quantity balancing envelopes: limit conditions. Flow of a falling film. Flow through a circular tube and a circular ring. Adjacent flow of two immiscible fluids Crawling flow through a solid sphere. Energy balances applied to an envelope: boundary conditions. Heat conduction with a heat source of electrical origin, nuclear origin, viscous origin and chemical origin. Heat conduction through composite walls. Sum of resistances. Heat conduction in a cooling fin. Free convection. Material balances applied to an envelope: boundary conditions Diffusion through a stagnant gaseous film. Diffusion in a falling liquid film: transfer of matter by forced convection.
6- CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM, ENERGY AND MASS EQUATIONS
Conservation equations for isothermal systems. Conservation equations for non-isothermal systems. Conservation equations for multi-component systems. Transport of matter in multi-component systems. Maxwell-Stefan equations. Analogies between energy, matter and quantity of movement transport.

The subject of Transport Phenomena will have an associated Virtual Classroom in the USC Virtual Campus. Before the beginning of the classes, the detailed program of the subject, the basic and complementary bibliography will be made available to the students in the Virtual Classroom.
a) Expository classes:
The theoretical contents of each subject will be exposed so that they serve as a guide for the autonomous learning of the students. The digital material used by the teacher during the master sessions will be published in the Virtual Classroom.
b) Seminar classes:
Current scientific publications (indexed in the Journal Citation Report (JCR)), both theoretical and experimental, on the contents dealt with in the subject will be presented and analysed with the students. The scientific publications will be available to students sufficiently in advance through the Virtual Classroom. The objective is that students have knowledge about the research that is currently being carried out at an international level within the framework of Transport Phenomena.
c) Digital portfolio:
In the first class, students will be told what a portfolio is and what objectives are to be achieved. Students will be shown a model portfolio commenting on its strengths and weaknesses. It is intended that students handle autonomously bibliography with current scientific evidence. The students will make several oral communications along the bimester in which they must show the evolution of their portfolio.
d) Individual Tutorials:
Individual attention will be given to students who need it.
The overall qualification of the students in the subject is the sum of the qualifications obtained, by their performance throughout the course, in the following activities:
EVAL 1. Participatory attendance at lectures and interactive classes (overall weight 25 %)
EVAL 2. Development and presentation of the portfolio (overall weight 75 %)
In order to pass the course, students will need to have attended the expository and interactive classes and to have made the presentations and the delivery of the portfolio.
Exceptionally, an exam may be taken on the date set by the school to evaluate students who do not attend the lectures or interactive classes or do not hand in their portfolios on time.
In the case of fraudulent activities or exams, the provisions of the "Regulations for the assessment of students' academic performance and the revision of qualifications" will apply.
20h of attendance to classroom classes, 10h of attendance to seminars, 1 hour of attendance to tutorials. As for the non-attendance work, it is estimated 44h of autonomous study and accomplishment of works. The total number of hours is therefore 75.
Class attendance is considered essential as a way of understanding and assimilating the content of the subject. With respect to the hours of non-attendance, it is estimated that the student who has attended class should invest at least three hours per week to consolidate the knowledge by reviewing the proposed bibliography to consolidate the knowledge acquired. In addition, it is recommended that students make use of the tutorial hours for the resolution of doubts or clarification of concepts.
