PB - : Prentice Hall KW - Mechanics KW - Fluid dynamics KW - Chemical processes N1 - Introduction to fluid mechanics -- Mass, energy, and momentum balances -- Fluid friction in pipes -- Flow in chemical engineering equipment -- Differential equations of fluid mechanics -- Solution of viscous-flow problems -- Laplace's equation for irrotational and porous medium flows -- Boundary-layer and other nearly unidirectional flows -- Turbulent flow -- Bubble motion, two-phase flow, and fluidization -- Non-Newtonian fluids -- Matlab PDE toolbox for solving some fluid mechanics problems N2 - An understanding of fluid mechanics is essential for the chemical engineer because the majority of chemical-processing operations are conducted either partially or totally in the fluid phase. Such knowledge is needed in the biochemical, chemical, energy, fermentation, materials, mining, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, polymer, and waste-processing industries. Written from a chemical engineering perspective, this ER -
