Fluid Dynamics with Chemical Reactions: Principles of Analysis and Design Volume I Fundamentals and Applications

Fluid dynamics with chemical reactions encompasses a wide range of topics such as laminar and turbulent flow, non-Newtonian flow, compressible flow, flow through porous media, two-phase flow, pipeline systems along with the mathematics describing the laws of conservation of mass, momentum and energy (partial differential equations) and analytical and numerical solution methods. The coverage here is to describe the physical phenomena and demonstrate methods of solution to obtain predictions for pressure drop, pumping capacity, drag, lift, heat transfer, mass transfer, conversion of chemical reactions, etc., and for chemical reactor and separations vessels descriptions and performance to be used in analysis and design. Also, understanding the concept of a continuum is crucial for solving fluid dynamics problems in chemical engineering, as it simplifies the mathematical models and allows engineers to make predictions about fluid behavior in various industrial processes.
