Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers This is a simple basic book about fluidics. Not complex equations. Not a heavy mathematics. Contain useful information about technology process with fluids - bubbles and two phase flow. Published in 1998 has relatively old information about everything. Positive side - has a small chapter (20 pages) about MatLab PDE Toolbox for solving fluid mechanics problems. No connections with COMSOL at all or any kind of simulation. | ||
Wilkes This is the worst text book I have ever used. I used it for an independent study class and my professor agreed that the topics were not rigorously explained. In addition, frequent assumptions were made without explination and referals were made to "lecture notes," which is, of course, useless if you aren't taking this man's lecture. | ||
compatible with any classroom text I think that this book is an indispensable guide for fluid mechanics. It is easy to understand and it lets you progress with your pace with its solved examples. And one can excel in fluid mechanics by solving the suggesred problems of the book. This book not only helps you to understand the concept mathematically but gives the physical meanings of the problems. | ||
This book is concise,clear and easy to understand. I have a good chance to study this course with Prof. Wilkes at Petroleum and petrochemical college, Chulalonkorn University in Thailand. This book is very useful for me because it's easy to understand and clear in every step. For example,some part of the fluid mechanics, I think it's very difficult for me to understand in the past(in bachelor's degree) but when I study this book, it make me clear and easy. I think this book is suitable for the beginner than the others that I met before. | ||
A definitive fluid mechanics book for Chemical Engineers Here is a book that is concise, comprehensive and to the point. The authours are meticulous with the math and present a wide variety of chemical engineering applications of fluid mechanics. The book is surprisingly easy to follow and is highly recommended for any systematic study of the subject. The language is clear and succinct and the layout is pleasing. | ||
