| The goal | The aim of this course is to introduce to students transport phenomena in biological systems so to be able to apply the acquired knowledge particularly in the area of momentum and mass transfer to analyze and solve complex problems in these systems. In this way, the students gain comprehension not only of biological processes in living organisms but also of the utilization of engineering principles in analyses of these processes. | |||
| The outcome | The students have acquired: (i) knowledge needed for understanding and analysis of complex processes in biological systems at the macro-levels of the organism and a tissue as well as at the micro-level of the cell; (ii) communication skills for clear formulation, presentation and analysis of the problems in the area of transport phenomena in biological systems; (iii) communication and social competences required for work in a multidisciplinary team of engineers, biologists, pharmacists and medical doctors. | |||
| Contents | ||||
| Contents of lectures | Within the scope of the course, the students are introduced to the features of transport phenomena in biological systems, which are, regarding the complexity, significantly more demanding than the common chemical engineering systems. Main concepts of momentum and mass transport are applied to biological systems at the macro-levels of the organism and a tissue as well as at the micro-level of the cell. Transport mechanisms are described gradually starting from simpler cases (e.g. rheological properties of blood, oxygen diffusion through blood plasma) to rather complex problems with main approaches to mathematical modeling and finding solutions (e.g. blood flow through arteries, active mass transport through the cell membrane). | |||
