BME 307
Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems (AC or GE)
Steve Stevenson Wallace
Description from DukeHub
An introduction to the modeling of complex biological systems using principles of transport phenomena and biochemical kinetics. Topics include the conservation of mass and momentum using differential and integral balances; rheology of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids; steady and transient diffusion in reacting systems; dimensional analysis; homogeneous versus heterogeneous reaction systems. Biomedical and biotechnological applications are discussed. Prerequisite: Biomedical Engineering 244L, 260L, and Mathematics 353.
