Raj P. Chhabra: Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Gebunden

Klappentext

Thoroughly revised and expanded, the Fourth Edition of Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics continues to provide a balanced treatment of the basics and applications the practicing chemical engineer needs to know. With emphasis on problem solving, the book demonstrates how to make approximations and solve complex fluid mechanics problems. This updated edition features a new chapter on Differential Mass and Momentum Balances, discussing the differential forms of continuity and momentum (Navier-Stokes) equations. The utility of these equations is demonstrated through examples of one-dimensional steady flows.

Features:

• Revised and expanded new edition of the well-loved previous edition, a Choice "Highly Recommended" title.
• Presents the fundamental (macroscopic and microscopic) conservation equations that govern the behavior of fluids and applies these to a wide variety of practical situations.
• Includes both Newtonian and non-Newtonian incompressible fluids and compressible fluids in subsonic through choked flow regimes as well as internal and external flows.
• Delivers broad coverage of topics from multiphase flows and gas-liquid to separations.
• Features a new chapter on Differential Mass and Momentum Balances.
• Offers end-of-chapter summaries and problems to reinforce learning.

Aimed at chemical engineering students taking applied fluid dynamics courses, this textbook also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and professional engineers.

A solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are available to adopting professors.
