CHEN44211 Process Fluid Dynamics 15 Semester 1 Undergraduate Level 4 Carlos Avendano Jimenez Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <div> The unit is divided in three parts. Part 1. Integral analysis and compressible flow: Reynold’s transport theorem for mass, energy and momentum; review of Thermodynamics of gases; stagnation properties and critical conditions in gases; basic equation for one-dimensional compressible flow; isentropic compressible flow in pipes with variation of area in sonic, subsonic, and supersonic conditions; reference stagnation and critical conditions for isentropic flow; isentropic flow in converging nozzles and in converging-diverging nozzles; compressible flow in pipes of constant area with friction; adiabatic flow (Fanno flow); and compressible frictionless flow with heat exchange (Rayleigh flow). Part 2. Non-Newtonian flow: review of differential equations of fluid mechanics including the convective derivative, differential mass balances, differential momentum balances, and stress components in various coordinate systems; classification of non-Newtonian fluids; constitutive equations for inelastic viscous fluids including power-law fluids and Bingham plastics; elementary rheology and non-Newtonian flow calculations. Part 3. Bubble motion and Two-phase flow: Rise of bubbles in unconfined systems; pressure drop and void fraction in horizontal pipes; two phase flow in vertical pipes including the analysis of limits of bubble flow and gas-lift pumps.</div>  <div> The unit is divided in three parts. Part 1.

There will be 8 tutorial sessions (approximately 7 problems per session) Coursework: one on-line test in Blackboard at the end of the semester that will cover all topics of the semester. Discussion board: A discussion board will be maintained during the semester for discussion of various topics</div>  0 Other 100% <table class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none" width="614"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:368px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black" valign="top">Assessment Types</td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:246px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:none" valign="top">Total Weighting</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:368px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black" valign="top">Continuous assessment</td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:246px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:none" valign="top">30%</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:368px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black" valign="top">Final Exam</td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; width:246px; padding:0cm 7px 0cm 7px; border-top:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-left:none" valign="top">70%</td> </tr> </tbody></table> Individual feedback as requested.
