Abstract

Part 1 Introduction: definitions and principles. Part 2 Fluid mechanics: fluid statics and its applications fluid flow phenomena basic equations of fluid flow flow of incompressible fluids in conduits and thin layers flow of compressible fluids flow past immersed bodies transportation and metering of fluids agitation and mixing of liquids. Part 3 Heat transfer and its applications: heat transfer by conduction principles of heat flow in fluids heat transfer to fluids without phase change heat transfer to fluids with heat change radiation heat transfer heat-exchange equipment evaporation. Part 4 Mass transfer and its applications: equilibrium stage operations distillation introduction to multicomponent distillation leaching and extraction principles of diffusion and mass transfer between phases gas absorption humidification operations drying of solids adsorption membrane separation processes crystallization. Part 5 Operations involving particulate solids properties, handling and mixing of particulate solids size reduction mechanical separations.
