FLUID MECHANICS FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERS

 LTPC

3003

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• To acquire a sound knowledge on fluid properties, fluid statics, dynamic characteristics of fluid flow for through pipes and porous medium, flow measurement and fluid machineries.

UNIT I

9

Methods of analysis and description - fluid as a continuum – Velocity and stress field - Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids – Classification of fluid motion

UNIT II

9

Fluid statics – basic equation - equilibrium of fluid element – pressure variation in a static fluid - application to manometer – Differential analysis of fluid motion – continuity, equation of motions, Bernoulli equation and Navier- Stokes equation.


UNIT III

9

The principle of dimensional homogeneity – dimensional analysis, Rayleigh method and the Pitheorem - non-dimensional action of the basic equations - similitude - relationship between dimensional analysis and similitude - use of dimensional analysis for scale up studies

UNIT IV

9

Reynolds number regimes, internal flow - flow through pipes – pressure drop under laminar and turbulent flow conditions – major and minor losses; Line sizing; External flows - boundary layer concepts, boundary layer thickness under laminar and turbulent flow conditions- Flow over a sphere – friction and pressure drag - flow through fixed and fluidized beds.

UNIT V

9

Flow measurement - Constant and variable head meters; Velocity measurement techniques; Types, characteristics and sizing of valves; Classification, performance characteristics and sizing of pumps, compressors and fans

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

COURSE OUTCOMES: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to
• Understand the fundamental properties of fluids and its characteristics under static conditions.
• Develop empirical correlation using dimensionless analysis.
• Analyze flow of fluid through pipe and over the of solid,
• Understand and select flow meter(s), characteristics of pumps used in Chemical Process Industries
