Fluid Mechanics

CHE 204 - Fluid Mechanics (3-0-3)

The course introduces principles governing fluid flow for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in laminar and turbulent flows. Mass, energy, momentum balances, dimensional analysis and simulation are used as tools to analyze flows: in pipes, in packed beds, around particles and surfaces, fluidized beds and flow meters. The course also covers: hydrostatics, exact solution of Navier-Stokes equations, constitutive equations for stresses, viscous effects and boundary layer flows.

Pre-Requisites: (MATH 202* Or MATH 208*) And (CHE 200 Or CHE 201 Or PETE 101 Or PETE 201)
