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: (MATH202* Or MATH208*) And (CHE200 Or CHE201 Or PETE101 Or PETE201)
