Free download Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers (3rd Edition) with Microfluidics, CFD, and COMSOL Multiphysics 5 by James O. Wilkes in pdf.
Fluid mechanics plays a crucial role in most chemical processing operations, which frequently occur partially or entirely in the fluid phase. As a result, chemical engineers must develop a strong command of fluid mechanics, particularly for applications in industries such as biochemical, chemical, energy, fermentation, materials, mining, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and waste processing.
Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers: with Microfluidics, CFD, and COMSOL Multiphysics 5 (3rd Edition) provides a thorough and methodical introduction to fluid mechanics tailored to the needs of chemical engineers.
This updated edition significantly expands coverage of microfluidics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using detailed examples to demonstrate CFD applications with both COMSOL Multiphysics 5 and ANSYS Fluent.
The chapter on turbulence has been enhanced with CFD techniques relevant to real-world problems, such as turbulent mixing and recirculating flows.
Part I introduces macroscopic fluid mechanics in a clear, concise, and accessible way, covering topics such as:
- Physical properties of fluids
- Hydrostatics
- Basic rate laws
- Core principles of flow in equipment
Part II explores microscopic fluid mechanics in depth, including:
- Governing differential equations
- Viscous flows, including applications in polymer processing
- Irrotational flows, Laplace’s equation, and porous media
- Near-unidirectional flows such as boundary layers, lubrication, calendering, and thin-film dynamics
- Turbulent flows, with emphasis on the k-ε model as an extension of traditional mixing-length theory
- Bubble dynamics, two-phase flows, and fluidization
- Non-Newtonian fluids, including inelastic and viscoelastic types
- Microfluidics and electrokinetic phenomena like electroosmosis, electrophoresis, streaming potentials, and electroosmotic switching
- Computational fluid mechanics using COMSOL Multiphysics and ANSYS Fluent
The book includes nearly 100 fully worked practical examples, featuring 12 new COMSOL 5 simulations that cover scenarios such as boundary layer behavior, non-Newtonian and jet flows, die flow, lubrication, momentum diffusion, and turbulent dynamics.
More than 300 end-of-chapter problems of varying complexity—some adapted from University of Cambridge examinations—offer extensive practice opportunities. All essential topics for the fluid mechanics portion of the professional engineer’s exam are thoroughly covered.
