CHEE 452 Transport Phenomena in Physiological Systems Units: 3.50
This course applies the principles of mass, momentum and heat transfer in physiological systems. The students will examine the role of transport phenomena in the function of organs and organ systems in the body, and develop the skills necessary to analyze models of biological transport processes in the context of the design of biomedical devices.
