Synopsis

This book teaches the fundamentals of fluid flow by including both theory and the applications of fluid flow in chemical engineering. It puts fluid flow in the context of other transport phenomena such as mass transfer and heat transfer, while covering the basics, from elementary flow mechanics to the law of conservation. The book then examines the applications of fluid flow, from laminar flow to filtration and ventilization. It closes with a discussion of special topics related to fluid flow, including environmental concerns and the economic reality of fluid flow applications.

From the Back Cover

Enables you to easily advance from fluid flow principles to applications

Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer helps readers move comfortably from fluid flow principles to fluid flow applications. From elementary flow mechanics to the laws of conservation of mass, energy, and momentum, the book covers all the basic principles of fluid flow. The book also demonstrates how these principles underlie a broad range of applications, from laminar flow to filtration and ventilation. Lastly, the book explores special related topics, including environmental concerns, biomedical engineering, open-ended problems, and the economics of fluid flow applications.

This text is divided into six parts, enabling readers to easily gain a foundation in basic principles and then learn how to apply them in practice:

• Part One: Introduction to Fluid Flow

• Part Two: Basic Laws

• Part Three: Fluid Transport Classification

• Part Four: Fluid Flow Applications

• Part Five: Fluid-Particle Applications

• Part Six: Special Topics

Throughout the text, numerous detailed examples demonstrate how principles are put into practice. Practice problems for each chapter, located on the text's accompanying Web site, enable readers to solve real-world problems similar to the ones that they will encounter on the job.

Readers will gain a solid working knowledge of fluid flow principles and applications upon successful completion of this text. They will also be better prepared to address more advanced material and solve more complex problems.
