Prerequisites: The student should have knowledge of how to formulate


differential equations relating to mass, momentum and heat transfer.
Course outcomes:
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to
CO1 : Identify the type of flow system and choose the suitable
coordinate system for a given problem
CO2 : Derive the equations of change for isothermal, non-isothermal
flow and multi component systems and use the same for solving
problems.
CO3 : Analyze the system and derive the velocity/temperature/
concentration distribution with more than one independent
variable.
CO4 : Formulate the governing equations and solve complex chemical
engineering problems.
CO5 : Revise the fluctuating, time smoothed velocities, Reynolds
stresses and write the time smoothed equations of change.
Introduction:
Review of mathematics: Scalars, Vectors, Tensors, divergence, relation
between rectangular coordinates and cylindrical coordinates, relation
between rectangular coordinates and spherical coordinates, partial
derivative, substantial derivative, total derivative, line integral, surface
integral, integral theorems, frames of reference (Eulerian and
Lagrangian).
UNIT-I
The equations of change for isothermal flow: Equations of continuity,
equation of motion, the equation of mechanical energy, application of
Navier-Stokes equation to solve problems like falling film, flow in a
tube, shape and surface of a rotating fluid.
Velocity distribution with more than one independent variable like flow
over a plate set in motion, unsteady flow between plates, and laminar
flow over a flat plate.
