Week 1 Lecture
Introduction to Transport Phenomena
by Tan Ching Mun (16002662)
Transport Phenomena in physics, represents any of the phenomena involving the movement of various entities, such as mass, momentum, or energy, through a medium, fluid or solid, by virtue of nonuniform conditions existing within the medium. In this course, momentum transfer, mass transfer, and heat transfer will be covered for incompressible fluids.
Chapter 1 will focus on the following topics:
- General concept of Transport Phenomena
- Similarity between momentum, energy, and mass transport processes.
- Derivation of general transport equations for momentum, energy, and mass transport.
In Transport Phenomena (TP), the systems will be discussed at a microscopic level which takes the kinetic motion of atoms such as velocity and momentum into account.

Reflection
Transport Phenomena which focuses on microscopic systems is quite complicated. This course involves a lot of mathematical applications and equations which we need to recall from the previous courses. Besides that, I realize that taking this course requires a lot of self-revision to understand the concept better.
We do not have a tutorial session for this week. Hopefully I could score well in this subject and also provide quality information in this portfolio.
