Fall 2025 Lecture Upper DivisionPhysical chemical principles associated with transport of mass, momentum and energy in bioprocesses. Principles for measuring physical chemical properties, a description of predictive equations for their evaluation and the role of these principles in the design and optimization of bioprocesses.
Learning Outcomes1Design complex engineering problems by applying physical chemistry.
2Explain the principles of characterizing biological materials using physical and optical techniques.
3Determine the appropriate methods to characterize or purify biological materials based on their physical properties.
4Predict the results of a spectroscopic technique based on the optical properties of materials and vice versa.
