FCK3220 Transport phenomena - transport of momentum, heat and mass 10.0 credits
Transport phenomena, i.e. transport of momentum, heat and mass, is of fundamental importance for research in chemical engineering as well as in applications in the design of separation equipment, chemical reactors, heat exchangers, etc.
The aim of this course is to give an in-depth understanding of transport phenomena and how these are applied. Understanding of mathematical modelling is central.
The course comprises ten half-day seminars given physically at Chalmers and KTH. Course schedule is adopted to the participants and decided together at the Intro lecture

Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- TEN1 - Oral exam, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- ÖVN1 - Exercise, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
