Introduction
The aim of this unit is to develop knowledge of the fundamentals of momentum, heat and mass transfer in both
theoretical and practical bases. Application of Transport Phenomena towards more practical and broader
chemical engineering context will also be covered extensively.
Graduate
On successful completion of this unit students can: Capabilities
addressed
1 Examine the complexities of transport phenomena that occur in various natural and
industrial scenarios
2 Analyse and communicate the mechanisms of transport phenomena in isothermal and
non-isothermal, laminar and turbulent flow systems
3 Formulate mathematical equations based on continuity, momentum and energy
balance equations to tackle problems encountered in nature and industrial scenarios
4 Generate and integrate solutions based on the fundamental principles of transport
phenomena
5 Explain similarities and differences between the fluxes and equations of change for
mass, momentum, and heat transport and deduce appropriate connections between
them

Learning Activities
Time allocation: 5 hours per week
Teaching mode: 4 hrs per week lectures; 1 hr per week workshop.
EACH STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO PUT IN AT LEAST 5 OR MORE HOURS PER WEEK FOR SELF STUDY. This should
be separate from workshops, lectures, discussions, meetings, or consultation times.
Teaching and learning mode for Transport Phenomena CHEN 3001 will have the following components:
A. traditional lectures and workshops
B. in-class discussion
C. in-class problem solving
D. Homework problems
Regular attendance at lectures is strongly encouraged, as students will be held responsible for all material
presented in class (in addition to the text readings, any handouts, etc.). Prior readings are encouraged for all
lectures where weekly topics are indicated on the unit study calendar.
While engineering problem solving often benefits from the interchange which accompanies a group effort,
maximum learning benefit for the student typically results from a careful balance between serious individual effort
and occasional group consultation. As such, students are permitted to work in small groups to discuss methods
and approaches to solving the class/homework problems. However, students should focus on developing the
skills necessary to define and solve problems independently, as these skills will be required on the tests and
exams administered.

*Please refer to the Late Assessment and the Assessment Extension sections below for specific details and
conditions.
1. 1.5 hrs closed book test (including reading time), covering materials presented in the first half of the
semester. Only University-approved calculator is to be used during this test.
2. Group assignment to be submitted through Turnitin.
3. The final exam encompasses ALL topics, study materials, tutorial questions, and in-class problems that have
been covered throughout the semester. This will be a CLOSED book exam. Only University-approved
calculator is to be used during this test (and all other tests and examinations for the unit). Detailed

Pass requirements
To pass this unit you must achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50.
Late assessment
Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit.
Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment
Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:
1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised
by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task;
2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated
for the assessment item will be deducted; and
3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero.
Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the
Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:
1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.
Assessment extension
Where an application for an assessment extension is permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit (refer to
the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):
1. A student unable to complete an assessment item by/on the due date/time due to exceptional
circumstances beyond the student's control, must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment
Extension Application Form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as
prescribed by the Academic Registrar.
2. The student will be expected to lodge the form with supporting documentation to the school representative
nominated below.
3. Failure to submit this application in a timely manner, may impact upon the assessment process. For
applications that are declined this may have significant ramifications on the possible marks awarded.
4. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the due date/time of the assessment item
where the student is able to provide a verifiable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the
application prior to the assessment due date/time.
Where an application for an assessment extension is NOT permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit
(refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):
1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will be subject to late penalties or receive a mark of
zero depending on the unit permitting late assessment submissions.
