This is a key course in chemical engineering covering fluid mechanics and industrial applications, particle technology and heat transfer. These topics provide the knowledge and tools which enable the design and analysis of many chemical engineering processes.
The following topics are taught in this course:• Fluid Mechanics (20L): o Momentum conservation and Navier-Stokes Equations. o Non-Newtonian fluids and flow.o Gas-liquid two phase flow.o Filtration.o Mixing and agitation.• Particles and fluidisation (8L):o Particle size distribution and measurements.o Single-particle fluid mechanics.o Fluidisation.o Cyclone. • Heat Transfer (8L):o Thermal radiation heat transfer.o Heat transfer from finned surfaces. o Unsteady heat conduction.
Sound understanding of fundamentals of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Application of fluid mechanics fundamentals to complex flows including Non-Newtonian fluids, two-phase flow, filtration and mixing/agitation. Understanding of fundamentals of particle fluidisation and challenges of particle processing. Applying technics for particle characterisation.Understanding of thermal radiation heat transfer and applications.Evaluating heat transfer problems to determine significant heat transfer resistances and simplifications of the problems. Applying numerical methods to complex heat transfer problems.
