Pulmonary Fluid Mechanics Laboratory - Academics Biofluid Mechanics with special interests in liquid, gas, particle, and heat flow in the human respiratory system. 350 - Introduction to Biotransport Processes Introduction to basic principles of fluid mechanics and of energy and mass transport, with emphasis on applications to living systems. BE 324 - Chemical Basis of Bioengineering III Advanced topics in physical chemistry including solution and colloid chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics applied to biological systems. BE 505 - Quantitative Human Physiology Introduction to human physiology using the quantitative methods of engineering and physical science.
Emphasis is on the operation of the major organ systems at both the macroscopic and cellular level.
BE 632 - Biomedical Application of Fluid Mechanics Momentum, mass, and heat transfer of importance in human physiology. Low Reynolds number flows in the microcirculation, high Reynolds number flows in the respiratory system, peristaltic pumping, respiratory and circulatory mass transfer, motion of microorganisms, and heat transfer in the respiratory and circulatory systems. Relevance of these flow processes to human disease and medical diagnosis and treatment. Academic Courses Recommended by the PFM Laboratory ENM 502 - Numerical Methods Numerical linear algebra.
