Aim and Content
The course introduces fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The fluid mechanics section includes the flow of gases (compressible) and liquids through tubing and various kinds of process apparatus. The flow of bubbles in liquids and drops in gases will also be discussed, along with the flow of gases and liquids through packed and fluidised particle beds. Bernoulli´s equation will be used. The heat transfer section includes heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation in liquids, gases and solids. Dimensional analysis and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) will be explained and used in both the fluid mechanics and heat transfer sections.
