Course description
This course introduces the principles of fluid and particle mechanics, focusing on chemical engineering applications. It covers the laws of mass, energy, and momentum conservation, together with rheology and particle properties. Students will use these principles to analyse and design fluid transport systems (e.g. pumps, pipes, flow meters, valves) and unit operations involving fluid and particle phenomena (e.g. settlers, filters, packed beds, fluidized beds). This equips students with the knowledge and skills required to analyse and design a broad range of systems involving fluids and particles in chemical engineering and beyond.
