Summary note
"Designed for single-semester undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics for chemical engineers, this textbook illustrates the fundamental concepts and analytical strategies in a rigorous and systematic, yet mathematically accessible manner. It guides readers through the use of dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimation for identifying which forces are important in different settings, and explains friction factors for pipes and other conduits, terminal velocities of particles, drops, and bubbles, and flow in porous media, packed beds, and fluidized beds. It also describes the physical and mathematical distinctions among major flow regimes, including unidirectional flow, the lubrication approximation, creeping flow, pseudosteady flow, irrotational flow, laminar boundary layers, turbulent shear flow, and compressible flow. Including numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems to illustrate key concepts, and with a full solutions manual for instructors available online, it is the ideal text for students looking to master the fundamentals of the subject. The text uses both traditional and novel applications to illustrate how to determine what is important physically in a new situation and how to use such insights in modelling with an emphasis on the microscopic analysis of incompressible flows. Includes many modern worked examples and end-of-chapter problems that provide calculation practice, build confidence in analyzing physical systems, and help develop engineering judgment. Features a self-contained summary of relevant information on vectors, tensors, and analytical geometry. Solution methods for differential equations are explained as needed."--taken from back cover.
