| Description |
The course comprises a concise introduction to fluid mechanics with an emphasis on these engineering aspects of the subject, which are important from the point of view of chemical engineering. |
| Prerequisites |
It is assumed that students have knowledge of mathematics (algebra, differential and integral calculus, vector analysis, differential equations) and physics (classical dynamics, basic thermodynamics). |
| Course content |
Definition and macroscopic properties of fluid, fluid statics (equilibrium equations, hydrostatic force on submerged surfaces, buoyancy), fluid kinematics (Eulerian and Lagrangian description, continuum equation), dynamics of ideal fluid (Bernoulli's equation, gravity outflow, flow in conduits, pressure head line, energy line), cavitation, impulse-momentum on conduit surface, hydraulic stroke, dynamics of real fluid (viscous stress, Navier-Stokes equations, laminar and turbulent flow, linear and local head loss in pipelines, hydraulic radius, boundary layer, drag on immersed bodies), similitude of flows and dimensional analysis (flow in mixers), fluid machinery (positive-displacement and centrifugal pumps), pressure, velocity and flow measuring devices, isentropic flow in converging and diverging nozzles. |
