OBJECTIVE:

Different types of Fluids, their flow characteristics and different mathematical models are analysed and applied to actual situations. This subject helps the students to understand the mechanism of fluids in motion under different conditions.

UNIT I	TRANSPORT PHENOMENA BY MOLECULAR MOTION	9

Importance of transport phenomena; analogous nature of transfer process; basic concepts, conservation laws; continuous concept, field, reference frames, substantial derivative and boundary conditions; methods of analysis; differential, integral and experimental methods.Phenomenological laws of transport properties Newtonian and non Newtonian fluids; rheological models; theories of transport properties of gases and liquids; effect of pressure and temperature.

UNIT II	ONE DIMENSIONAL TRANSPORT IN LAMINAR FLOW (SHELL BALANCE)	12

General method of shell balance approach to transfer problems; Choosing the shape of the shell; most common boundary conditions; momentum flux and velocity distribution for flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in pipes for flow of Newtonian fluids in planes, slits and annulus heat flux and temperature distribution for heat sources such as electrical, nuclear viscous and chemical; forced and free convection; mass flux and concentration profile for diffusion in stagnant gas, systems involving reaction and forced convection.

UNIT III	EQUATIONS OF CHANGE AND THEIR APPLICATIONS	14

Conservation laws and equations of change; Development of equations of continuity motion and energy in single multicomponents systems in rectangular co-ordinates and the forms in curvilinear co-ordinates; simplified forms of equations for special cases, solutions of momentum mass and heat transfer problems discussed under shell balance by applications of equation of change, scale factors; applications in scale-up

UNIT IV	TRANSPORT IN TURBULENT AND BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW	6

Turbulents phenomena; phenomenological relations for transfer fluxes; time smoothed equations of change and their applications for turbulent flow in pipes; boundary layer theory; laminar and turbulent hydrodynamics thermal and concentration boundary layer and their thicknesses; analysis of flow overflat surface.

UNIT V	ANALOGIES BETWEEN TRANSPORT PROCESSES	4

Importance of analogy; development and applications of analogies between momentum and mass transfer; Reynolds, Prandtl, Von Karman and Colbum analogies.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOME:

Students gain the knowledge of fundamental connections between the conservation laws in heat, mass, and momentum in terms of vector and tensor fluxes.
