Description

Advanced fluid mechanics, particle technology, transient conduction and radiation.

This is a key course in chemical engineering covering fluid mechanics, particle technology and heat transfer. These topics provide the knowledge and tools which enable the design and analysis of many chemical engineering processes. The course includes the following key topics:

Fluid Mechanics
• Momentum, Navier-Stokes Equations and an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (5 KRM)
• Particles (size distribution, size measurement, single-particle fluid mechanics) (KRM)
• Industrial processes (filtration, fluidisation, particle/gas flow) (KRM)
• Mixing (KRM)
• Non-Newtonian fluids and flow (8 SD)

Heat Transfer (10 SSP)
• Heat transfer from finned surfaces
• Unsteady conduction
• Thermal radiation

It builds on the fluid mechanics and heat transfer taught in ENCH293 and ENCH292.
