Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing

3 credits · College of Engineering catalogue

Advisory Prerequisite: Senior or graduate standing. Enforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) Proficiency in the fundamental understanding of materials processing techniques. Lectures will cover: techniques for model development and simplification with an emphasis on estimation and scaling; ‘classical’ analytic solutions to simple problems, physical phenomena in materials processing including non-Newtonian fluid flow, solidification, and microstructure development. Techniques for measurement of monitoring of important process variables for model verification and process control. Case studies (heat treatment; welding; polymer extrusion and molding; various metal casting processes; crystal growth).
