Explore the fundamentals of transport phenomena in chemical engineering, encompassing momentum, heat, and mass transfer in fluid systems. Analyze the governing equations for transport processes, such as the Navier$-$Stokes equation, Fourier's law, and Fick's law, and their applications in engineering analysis and design. Assess the interplay between transport phenomena and unit operations, considering the role of fluid flow, temperature gradients, and concentration gradients in process performance.
