Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers: with Microfluidics, CFD, and COMSOL Multiphysics 5 (3rd Edition) is a comprehensive textbook designed to bridge fundamental fluid mechanics concepts with advanced topics such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), microfluidics, and the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for problem-solving. Authored by James O. Wilkes, this edition incorporates updated methodologies and examples to cater to both students and professionals in chemical engineering.
This book provides a solid foundation in fluid mechanics while integrating advanced computational tools and real-world applications. It is divided into two main sections: macroscopic and microscopic fluid mechanics. The content includes chapters on mass, energy, and momentum balances, fluid friction in pipes, non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, and an introduction to cutting-edge topics like CFD and COMSOL simulations.
