Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Importance of transport phenomena in biology - Mass transport by diffusion - Effects of convection and electrical potential on mass transport - Transport in porous media - Influence of mass transport on biochimical reactions
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Describe basic concepts relative to transport phenomena and to chemical reaction engineering. At the end of the course, students will be able to establish and to analyse transport and reaction models applied to bioogical systems.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
No prerequisite
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based on "ex-cathedra" lectures, on practical courses and on homeworks.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face
