Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The phenomena of fluid flow are essential for the design of chemical equipment and the evaluation of operating conditions. This course primarily focuses on the flow phenomena of viscous fluids. By completing this course, students will gain a fundamental understanding of fluid dynamics theory and acquire the skills to analyze flow conditions and design piping systems for fluid transport. 
Class Schedule Lesson 1:
Guidance, viscous fluid

Lesson 2:
Laminar flow, turbulent flow, Reynolds number

Lesson 3:
Viscosity and momentum transfer

Lesson 4:
Similarity of momentum transfer to heat/mass transfer

Lesson 5:
Basic equations for viscous flow and mass conservation

Lesson 6:
Basic equations for momentum conservation

Lesson 7:
Solution of isothermal laminar flow (1)

Lesson 8:
Solution of isothermal laminar flow (2)

Lesson 9:
Intermediate examination

Lesson 10:
Boundary layer, turbulent flow and Reynolds stress

Lesson 11:
Velocity distribution in turbulent flow

Lesson 12:
Friction factor, energy loss

Lesson 13:
Balance equation of flow system, Bernoulli equation

Lesson 14:
Energy loss in pipe flow system (1)

Lesson 15:
Energy loss in pipe flow system (2), Flow measurement device

Lesson 16:
Final examination
