Fluid Mechanics For Chemical Engineers: With Microfluidics And Cfd,New

The Chemical Engineer'S Practical Guide To Contemporary Fluid Mechanicssince Most Chemical Processing Applications Are Conducted Either Partially Or Totally In The Fluid Phase, Chemical Engineers Need A Strong Understanding Of Fluid Mechanics. Such Knowledge Is Especially Valuable For Solving Problems In The Biochemical, Chemical, Energy, Fermentation, Materials, Mining, Petroleum, Pharmaceuticals, Polymer, And Wasteprocessing Industries.Fluid Mechanics For Chemical Engineers, Second Edition, With Microfluidics And Cfd, Systematically Introduces Fluid Mechanics From The Perspective Of The Chemical Engineer Who Must Understand Actual Physical Behavior And Solve Realworld Problems. Building On A First Edition That Earned Choice Magazine'S Outstanding Academic Title Award, This Edition Has Been Thoroughly Updated To Reflect The Field'S Latest Advances.This Second Edition Contains Extensive New Coverage Of Both Microfluidics And Computational Fluid Dynamics, Systematically Demonstrating Cfd Through Detailed Examples Using Flowlab And Comsol Multiphysics. The Chapter On Turbulence Has Been Extensively Revised To Address More Complex And Realistic Challenges, Including Turbulent Mixing And Recirculating Flows.Part I Offers A Clear, Succinct, Easytofollow Introduction To Macroscopic Fluid Mechanics, Including Physical Properties; Hydrostatics; Basic Rate Laws For Mass, Energy, And Momentum; And The Fundamental Principles Of Flow Through Pumps, Pipes, And Other Equipment. Part Ii Turns To Microscopic Fluid Mechanics, Which Covers Differential Equations Of Fluid Mechanics Viscousflow Problems, Some Including Polymer Processing Laplace'S Equation, Irrotational, And Porousmedia Flows Nearly Unidirectional Flows, From Boundary Layers To Lubrication, Calendering, And Thinfilm Applications Turbulent Flows, Showing How The K/E Method Extends Conventional Mixinglength Theory Bubble Motion, Twophase Flow, And Fluidization Nonnewtonian Fluids, Including Inelastic And Viscoelastic Fluids Microfluidics And Electrokinetic Flow Effects Including Electroosmosis, Electrophoresis, Streaming Potentials, And Electroosmotic Switching Computational Fluid Mechanics With Flowlab And Comsol Multiphysicsfluid Mechanics For Chemical Engineers, Second Edition, With Microfluidics And Cfd, Includes 83 Completely Worked Practical Examples, Several Of Which Involve Flowlab And Comsol Multiphysics. There Are Also 330 Endofchapter Problems Of Varying Complexity, Including Several From The University Of Cambridge Chemical Engineering Examinations. The Author Covers All The Material Needed For The Fluid Mechanics Portion Of The Professional Engineer'S Examination.The Author'S Web Site, Www.Engin.Umich.Edu/~Fmche/, Provides Additional Notes On Individual Chapters, Problemsolving Tips, Errata, And More.
