OBJECTIVES OUTLINE METHODS TEXTBOOK(S) CLASS SCHEDULE
INSTRUCTORS & TAs EXAMS & GRADING HOMEWORK GUIDELINES
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.
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.
F Lecture, [when needed; usually during weeks with exams or holidays].
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.
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.

Homework, assigned weekly during term, ~10 Problem Sets (~2 Problems each). Counts as 100 points, max.
2 Quizzes, 1 hr each, during term. Count equally at 100 points each, max.
1 Final, 3 hr, during final exam period. Counts as 200 points, max.
Use of the textbook 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.
Problem sets will be due at the beginning of class on the date specified.
Problem solutions will be distributed at the end of class on the problem due date.
No credit will be given for homework turned in after the due date.
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 can discuss the lecture and reading material, and the general nature of the homework problems, with anyone. Also, you may peruse all previous 10301 material available anywhere, such as on the web, in the library, and in bibles and sutras accumulated over the ages.
However, your final solutions should be your own original work.
Jointly prepared solutions, and solutions closely resembling those available, are unacceptable.
