CHE 243 - Fluid Dynamics

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the basic fluid flow and conservation laws of transport phenomena including the principles and applications of fluid mechanics (momentum transport) to engineering problems. Topics include a detailed analysis of conservation of mass and momentum equations, microscopic and macroscopic balances, dimensional analysis and the application of fluid flow problems to chemical engineering. The primary objective of this course is to introduce the student to the basic fluid flow and conservation laws of transport phenomena, and to learn in detail the basic principles and applications of fluid mechanics (momentum transport) to engineering problems. This objective will be accomplished by detailed analysis of conservation of mass and momentum equations, microscopic and macroscopic balances, dimensional analysis, the analysis and design of unit operations, and the application to flow problems of chemical engineering.
