Undergraduate Courses BIOENG 1311BIOENG 1311 - Hemodynamics and BiotransportInstructor: Federspiel Credits: 3 Term: Fall Description: This course covers the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and mass transport as applicable to physiological, biological and medical systems. The fluid mechanics coverage emphasizes blood flow in the cardiovascular system. Topics include Poiseville flow and circulatory flow resistance, blood rheology and tube flow of blood, pulsatile blood flow in arteries, and microcirculatory blood flow. The mass transport coverage emphasizes steady and unsteady diffusion, convective mass transfer, controlled release, and coupled diffusion and reactions in biological systems. Prerequisites: BIOENG 1220 Biotransport Phenomena or CHEM 0300 Transport Phenomena Required Texts: Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems. G.A. Truskey, F. Yuan, D.F. Katz. Pearson Prentice Hall, 2004 Course Objectives: Upon completing the course, students will have learned to analyze biotransport phenomena by applying differential momentum and species mass balances. Students will gain both a qualitative and quantitative understanding of biomedical processes that involve flow and mass transport principles; including hemodynamics, solute transport and exchange in organs, and principles of several drug delivery and therapeutic devices. Students will enhance their modeling and analysis techniques, as well as their ability to work with vectors and tensors in continua. Topics Covered: Topics include:
