Course DescriptionThis course is an introduction to the analysis of complex biosystems including blood, cornea, and lung using principles of transport phenomena. Basic theories of momentum transport, mass transport and energy transport are presented. Principles of transport phenomena are also applied to the design of medical devices and bioengineered tissues. Topics include differential and integral balances, rheology of Newtonian and non- Newtonian fluids, diffusion in reacting systems and homogeneous vs. heterogeneous reaction systems and their application to solve problems in bioprocess.
