Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer

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.
