Part-1

Why fiuids are important in chemical engineering

1. Enormous number of materials normally exist fias gases or liquids, or can be transformed into such phase.

2. More efficient and cost-effective to work fiwith fiuids in contrast to solids.

e.g. some operating condition with solids can be conductedfi in a quasi-fiuidlike manner:

fi fiuidized-bed catalytic firefining of hydrocarbons,

fi the long-distance pipelining of ficoal particles using water fias the agitating and fitransporting medium.

Part-2

1. Appreciation of the essentials of change in systemsfi that are continuous except for interfaces.

- systematic description of change in fiuid systems, fimechanical change (by force or momentum fiuxes)?
- developing basic principles from fithe governing equations of fiuid statistics and fiuid dynamics.

We will rely on mathematical terminology in order tofi describe equilibrium of fiuids, fiand then movement and deformation of fiuids.

But we will trying to understandfi the physical contents of fievery mathematical statement.

a. develop the habit of extracting fievery bit of physical meaning out of fiformal mathematical reasoning.

b. learn how to intuit or reason about fiuid systems fiwithout undue reliance on formal mathematics.

2. Familiarity with firepresentative fiuids, firepresentative fiows, fiand formulations of fiuid mechanics fi- idealizations of fiuids and the method of measuring, analyzing, fiand predicting fiow phenomena.

3. Understanding basic fiuid equipments & phenomena fifor chemical engineering process.
