Broadly, the objective of this course is to introduce Transport Processes in Geosystems to the students of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering.  

The course begins with recovering Reynolds transport theorem and fundamental conservation laws; i.e. mass balance, momentum balance. Then, the general mass transport processes are introduced. Due to the structure of porous media, mass transport processes need to be adapted to the geological formations. Therefore, in the next section the adapted mass transport processes in geosystems are explained in detail. In the last part of mass transport processes section, multi-phase flow & transport processes in porous media is explained both theoretically and practically with real life examples. In the next, section general energy balance equation is introduced, which will help to understand the heat transfer processes.  Due to the structure of porous media, heat transport processes need to be adapted to the geological formations. Therefore, in the next section the adapted heat transport processes in geosystems are explained in detail. In the last part of heat transport processes section non-isothermal multi-phase flow & transport processes in porous media is explained both theoretically and practically with real life examples, such as CO2 sequestration and ECBM processes.
