About course

To present in a unified and careful way the phenomena of heat and mass transfer by diffusion. To present models, formulations and solution methods focusing rationally in various application problems in engineering. To explore from the physical point of view the models and their solutions, always evaluating the possible validity of the simplifications adopted.
