Description

Designed for introductory undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics for chemical engineers, this stand-alone textbook illustrates the fundamental concepts and analytical strategies in a rigorous and systematic, yet mathematically accessible manner. Using both traditional and novel applications, it examines key topics such as viscous stresses, surface tension, and the microscopic analysis of incompressible flows which enables students to understand what is important physically in a novel situation and how to use such insights in modeling. The many modern worked examples and…

Key features

  • Presents dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimation as tools to help students identify which forces are important in different settings
  • Explains from an experimental viewpoint the friction factors for pipes and other conduits, terminal velocities of particles, drops, bubbles, and flow in porous media, packed beds, and fluidized beds
  • Describes the physical and mathematical distinctions among major flow regimes, including unidirectional flow, the lubrication approximation, creeping flow, pseudosteady flow, irrotational flow, laminar boundary layers, turbulent shear flow, and compressible flow
