This course will provide an overview of transport phenomena in

biological systems that are critical to the function of all living

organisms. We will discuss momentum, mass and to some extent, heat

transport in biological systems ? in cells, tissues, organs and medical

devices. By the end of the course, students in bioengineering should be

able to discuss the fundamental principles of transport processes,

develop and understand the mathematical expression(s) of these

principles, establish and critically analyze models of biological

transport and reaction processes and apply these concepts to real fluid

mechanical problems.
