Description
This student textbook has been designed for chemical and mechanical engineering departments with courses in fluid mechanics. The text makes extensive use of simple theories to predict and correlate fluid motions. Emphasis is placed on the development of skill in deriving theoretical solutions for problems by example and practice. As far as possible, the accuracy and range of applicability of the various theoretical models are evaluated by comparison with experimental data. The text stresses the identification or derivation of relevant models and conditions, rather than theory and mathematics. A set of problems have been provided for practice in such derivations.

Content
Part 1 One-dimensional laminar flows: momentum transfer viscosity and shear stress; Newtonian flow between parallel plates; Newtonian flow in round tubes and circular annuli; forced flow on non-Newtonian fluids through channels; thin films and other open, gravitational flows; Couette flows. Part 2 The general equations of motion: derivation of the general mass and force-momentum balances; modified forms of the general mass and force-momentum balances; exact, closed-form solutions of the equations of motion; the Blasius solution for laminar flow along a flat surface; integral boundary layer solution for laminar flow along a flat surface; experimental results and extended solutions for laminar flow along a flat surface; laminar flow over wedges and discs, circular cylinders and solid spheres; the motion of bubbles and droplets; generalized methods and other geometrics. Part 3 Flow relative to dispersed solids: flow through porous media; the relative motion of fluids and dispersed solids.
