The course aims to provide a quantitative description of processes in industry and nature and use this knowledge in the design of apparatus. Three basic types of processes are covered in this course - hydrodynamic processes, heat transfer, and mass transfer. The course deepens the qualitative knowledge of transport phenomena and its application in engineering modeling using dimensional analysis leading to an understanding of the principles of scaling and design of apparatus. The course has an overall structure, captured by a list of chapters. The topic of the individual project will be selected according to the specific assignment of the doctoral thesis and according to candidate's previous training.
