CHEN 3330 Fluid Mechanics

This course will introduce the fundamentals basics of fluid motion. Focus is placed on applications of high relevance to the chemical industry, such as flow in pipes and characteristic curves of pumps. Students in this class learn the fundamentals of momentum transfer and how these fundamentals are applied to chemical processes. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped to perform detailed analysis of power and fluid flow requirements in processes that are typical of the chemical industry. The material learned in this course will form the basis for additional transport phenomena courses, such as heat transfer and mass transfer.

Prerequisite

Students need to obtain a C grade in Engineering Mechanics: Statics (ENGR 2301) and Differential Equations (MATH 3305) before enrolling in this course.
