Assignments:
- Assignment 0: warm-up with mathematical operators, due on Thursday Jan 21st, end of lecture.
Overall easy to moderately difficult, question 9 might be a bit challenging !
- Assignment 1: momentum, heat and mass transfer at the molecular level, due on Tuesday Feb 2nd, end of lecture.
Relatively easy in general.
- Assignment 2: momentum, heat and mass shell balances, due on Tuesday Feb 16th, end of lecture.
General application of what we learnt over lectures 4, 5 and 6.
- Assignment 3: momentum, heat and mass transfer with one or more variables, due on Thursday Mar 17th, end of lecture.
Problems of variable level of difficulty, covering lectures 7 to 12.
Assignments (optional, but good practice for final exam !)
- Assignment 4: momentum, heat and mass transfer coefficients.
Lectures 14, 15 and 16.
- Assignment 5: macroscopic momentum and heat transfer.
Lectures 17 and 18.
