Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer teaches the fundamentals of fluid flow by including both theory and the applications of fluid flow in chemical engineering.
Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer puts fluid flow in the context of other transport phenomena such as mass transfer and heat transfer, while covering the basics, from elementary flow mechanics to the law of conservation.
The book then examines the applications of fluid flow, from laminar flow to filtration and ventilization. It closes with a discussion of special topics related to fluid flow, including environmental concerns and the economic reality of fluid flow applications.
