Fluid statics, surface tension, Newton's law of viscosity, non-Newtonian and complex flows, momentum equations, laminar and turbulent flow, velocity profiles, flow in pipes and around objects, piping systems design, pumps and mixing, and other applications to chemical and related industries.

Course Tips

Study Strategies

Practice problems from class and discussions will help you study, but identify the appropriate momentum balance before plugging in numbers. 

Other Advice

Know the differences between laminar and turbulent flow until it is intuitive.
