Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 3rd Edition

This book provides readers with the most current, accurate, and practical fluid mechanics related applications that the practicing BS level engineer needs today in the chemical and related industries, in addition to a fundamental understanding of these applications based upon sound fundamental basic scientific principles. The emphasis remains on problem solving, and the new edition includes many more examples.

• Covers the most current, accurate, and practical fluid mechanics related applications that the practicing BS level engineer needs today in the chemical and related industries
• Provides a fundamental understanding of these applications based upon sound fundamental basic scientific principles
• Adds worked-out problems illustrating the application of concepts in each chapter
• Includes SI units
• Sharpens the presentation of material by reorganizing the existing material, adding new material, or by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate the utility of a concept
