Time & Place: Instructor: Jun Ni, Ph.D., Associate Professor Department of Radiology, Carver College of Medicine, Biomedical Engineering Mechanical Engineering University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA Tel: (319) 335-9490 E-mail: jun-ni@uiowa.edu Office Hours and Place: Textbook: George A. Truskey, Fan Yuan, David F. Katz , "Transport Phenomena in Biological System ," First Edition, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2004.       Class Lecture Notes: Additional notes or handouts may be available in classroom. Course Description: this course addresses the issues of transport phenomna in biological and physiological systems. It presents engineering fundamentals and biological applications, and helps biomedical students learn how to develop and critically analyze models of biological transport and reaction processes. It course covers topics in fluid mechanics, mass transport, and biochemical interactions, with engineering concepts motivated by specific biological and physiological problems. The course is designed for graduate level biomedical students, and thermall science students who are interested in modeling and simulations of transport phenomena in biomedical systems.
