Introduction to fluid mechanics

542-3	Introduction to fluid mechanics				Materials and Chemistry				S6
Lessons : 7 h		TD : 7 h		TP : 0 h		Project : 0 h		Total : 14 h
Co-ordinator : Federico AZZOLINA-JURY

Prerequisite
Applied thermodynamics
Course Objectives
Transmit to young engineers the fundamental knowledge of fluid mechanics that will be used later in unit operations concerning momentum transfer phenomena in the chemical industry
Syllabus
In this course, the fundamental concepts on the mechanics of the fluids are approached. The course is divided into four chapters: I) Static fluids; II) Surface tension; III) Dynamics of ideal incompressible fluids and IV) Dynamics of real incompressible fluids.
Practical work (TD or TP)
The knowledge acquired will be used in 3A in applied fluid mechanics .
Acquired skills
Students will be able to evaluate velocity profiles from the NS equation (depending on the type of regime) within an industrial pipeline, catalytic reactor, or any element in the industry carrying fluids.
