Abstract
Momentum Transfer plays an important role in various applications such as
the automotive sector, airplanes, spacecraft propulsion, biomedical
engineering, petroleum, chemical industries, etc.
This pedagogical handout entitled “Momentun Transfer: course and
exercises”, has been produced in accordance with the new science and
technology pedagogical program.
This pedagogical handout is aimed at students of the 3rd year Petrochemical
Engineering.
This course has been developed over several years of teaching Momentum
Transfer to petrochemical engineering students.
This course consists of four chapters.
The first chapter presents a reminder where we define the properties of
fluids and fluid statics.
The second chapter deals with the balances of matter, quantity of motion
and energy.
The third chapter focuses on fluid dynamics. The equation of motion of real
fluids, flow regimes and head losses are explained.
The fourth chapter deals with pumps and pumping. Pumps and network
calculations are described in detail.
Each chapter concludes with exercises.
