Fundamental of Fluid Mechanics for Chemical And Biomedical Engineers
Prof. Raghvendra Gupta · IIT Guwahati
About
This basic course on fluid dynamics is designed specifically for Chemical Engineering. The participants will be introduced to properties of fluid and flow properties such as velocity, stress. The students will learn to analyse the fluid flow problem employing dimensional analysis, integral analysis and differential analysis. The course would focus more on viscous flow in pipes and around submerged objects such as spheres and cylinders. A number of problems relevant to chemical and biomedical engineering applications will be solved.
INTENDED AUDIENCE : UG students of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and biomedical engineering
PREREQUISITES : The participant should have understanding of class 12 level mathematics, Knowledge of vector algebra and vector calculus.
