Prerequisite:
Term Offered: Second Semester
Fluid mechanics is a basic branch of science to study nature of fluid flow or fluids in static situations
in different positions, through a pipe or on a submerged body. Without understanding it, understanding on heat and mass
transfer is not possible. It plays the main section role of transport phenomena studies. This course is lectured
for undergraduate students of chemical engineering and try to introduce and investigate different aspects of this beautiful
branch of science to them.
