This e-book teaches the basics of fluid move through together with either idea and the functions of fluid circulation in chemical engineering. It places fluid stream within the context of different delivery phenomena resembling mass move and warmth move, whereas overlaying the fundamentals, from user-friendly stream mechanics to the legislation of conservation. The ebook then examines the functions of fluid circulate, from laminar move to filtration and ventilization. It closes with a dialogue of distinctive issues concerning fluid circulate, together with environmental issues and the commercial fact of fluid move functions

2 THE DIFFERENCES This section attempts to qualitatively describe the differences between the two approaches discussed above. Both deal with the transfer of certain quantities (momentum, energy, and mass) from one point in a system to another. Three basic transport mechanisms are involved in a process. They are: 1. Radiation. 2. Convection. 3. Molecular diffusion. The first mechanism, radiative transfer, arises due to wave motion and is not considered since it may be justifiably neglected in most engineering applications.

1). Formulate the second 72, n2 as 722 = pvapbDf Determine a, b, and f by comparing the units on both sides: 0 [=I (kg m-'s-')(m s-')a(kg m-3)b(m)f Compare kg: O = 1 + b . Thereforeb= -1 Compare s: 0 = -1 -a. Therefore a = -1 Compare m: 0 = -1 + a - 3b Substituting back into 72. +f. Thereforef = -1 yields: Replace 72. by its reciprocal: where Re = Reynolds number (see Chapter 12). 1). 4 SCALE-UP AND SIMILARITY To scale-up (or scale-down) a process, it is necessary to establish geometric and dynamic similarities between the model and the prototype.

Follow links for this title. 1 INTRODUCTION As indicated in Chapter 1, chemical engineering courses were originally based on the study of unit processes and/or industrial technologies. , there was a commonality in the fluid flow operations in the petroleum industry as with the utility industry. These similar operations became known as Unit Operations.
