Course Objective
The aim of this course is to teach the concepts underlying industrial processes that usually take place simultaneously and how to apply them to various real-life problems and how to model processes.
Course Content
In this course, a wide variety of applications, from industrial processes to environmental engineering, transport processes in our own body and even simple daily life problems, mathematical background, momentum, heat, mass transfer, and numerical solutions of partial differential equations will be covered.
