OBJECTIVES

A quantitative introduction to the theoretical and physical principles in fluid mechanics that are of fundamental importance to chemical engineers.

Four areas are addressed, namely:

(1) Fluids and Flow Phenomena; Dimensional Analysis, Pipe Flow and External Drag Relations.

(2) Statics and Microscopic Balances; Stress, Navier-Stokes Equation, Laminar Flows, Inviscid Flows.

(3) Macroscopic Balances; Bernoulli's Equation, Linear Momentum Conservation, Applications.

(4) Real Flows; Laminar Boundary-Layers,  Turbulent Flow Structure, Reynolds’ Equations, Wall turbulence.

OUTLINE

METHODS

The preceding principles will be illustrated by lectures, examples, and homework problems that are both theoretical and practical in nature.

The weekly class cycle, beginning on day T, say, is of the form:

T Lecture, introducing a topic T.

R Lecture, continuing on T.  Problem set concerning T handed out in class.

M Recitation sections discuss T, often using simple problems from textbook.

T Lecture on topic T+1.

R Problem set T due. Lecture on topic T+1. Problem set concerning T+1 handed out in class.

Continue.

TEXTBOOKS

Denn, M.M.: Process Fluid Mechanics, Prentice-Hall, 1980.

Still the best intro to chemical engineering fluid mechanics; attempts to be both relevant and rigorous.

Deen, W.M.: Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 411pages on Stellar Site, 2013.

Brand new, by a distinguished, longtime 10.301 instructor.

Additional References (Optional)

Balanced blend of theory with physical intuition. Copious, well-explained, modern mech- and aero-e type examples.

EXAMS & GRADING

Homework, assigned weekly during term, ~10 Problem Sets (~2 Problems each). Counts as 100 points, max (20% of total).

2 Quizzes, 1 hr each, during term. Count equally at 100 points each, max, (20% each).

1 Final, 3 hr, during final exam period. Counts as 200 points, max (40%).

Use of the textbooks and class materials will be permitted in all quizzes and in the final exam.

Course Grade will be determined from the sum [h+q1+q2+f], where the elements respectively represent scores obtained in homework, quizzes, and the final.

Typical percentage grade distributions in the last few years were: 30 A, 44 B, 23 C, 2 D, 1 F.

HOMEWORK GUIDELINES (Abbreviated; see Stellar site for details)

Problem sets will be due at the beginning of class on the date specified.

Problem solutions will be distributed, by ei upload to Stellar or hardcopy, at the end of class on the problem due date.

No credit will be given for homework turned in after the due date and time.

Please:

1. Write your name on each sheet of paper.

2. Be sure all sheets for any single problem are stapled or clipped together.

3. State both the problem set and problem number on your solution.

 

POLICY ON COLLABORATION AND ORIGINALITY

You are encouraged to discuss concepts and techniques underlying homework problems with fellow students.

However, your final solutions should be your own original work.

Jointly prepared solutions, and solutions closely resembling those available online or elsewhere, are unacceptable.

When in doubt, consult with Professors Doyle, Brushett or Virk first.
