Excerpt provided by Syndetics

This book is a basic undergraduate text in fluid flow. It is a summary of the fluid flow content of the chemical engineering degree course at the University of Salford. The book is written throughout in SI units and is divided into two parts. Part I is a conventional treatment of fluid flow and contains a minimum of mathematics. Part 1 is suitable for use in Higher National Certificate and Higher. National Diploma courses in chemical engineering. Part 2 makes use of vector analysis and more sophisticated mathematics. Part 2 deals with the flow of Newtonian liquids with reference to rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems. The treatment of non-Newtonian flow in rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems requires the use of tensors. Tensors are only used in Master's degree courses at Salford and are consequently omitted from this text. It can readily be seen that the transport phenomena approach used· in Part 2 is far more powerful than the largely empirical approach used in Part 1. Nevertheless a clear understanding of physical boundary conditions and the engineering aspects of a problem are essential if the transport phenomena approach is to be used effectively. Parts I and 2 together are suitable for use in honours degree courses in chemical engineering. Part 1 and much of Part 2 are also suitable for use in ordinary degree courses in chemical engineering. The material in this book is also used in the one week refresher courses in fluid mechanics, which are periodically run by the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Salford, for the Institution of Chemical Engineers. It is hoped that the book will also be useful for chemists, mechanical engineers and other technical people concerned with the flow of fluids. The author believes that there is no substitute for wide reading in a subject. However, this can be done more effectively with reference to a basic framework. This book, which is largely a collection of lecture notes with the emphasis on brevity, is designed to provide such a framework. The author would like to express his gratitude to Miss Barbara Buckley for typing the manuscript and to his colleague, Mr F. A. Watson, for checking the material and reworking the calculations. He also greatly appreciates the valuable help given by Mr J. Swolkein and Mr P. Diggory with the drawings. F. A. HOLLAND Excerpted from Fluid Flow for Chemical Engineers by F. A.
