CHE 330Process Fluid Mechanics
This course introduces the principles of fluid mechanics that are of fundamental importance to chemical engineers. Students learn to perform scaling and dimensional analysis in physical systems. Student learn to apply microscopic and macroscopic mass, energy, and momentum balances in flowing systems, and apply them to determine flow patterns for Newtonian fluids in simple geometries. These principles are applied to design flow equipment.
