Solved Practical Problems in Fluid Mechanics

While there have been many changes in education over the years, the teaching of mathematics and physical sciences is still critical in ensuring next-generation engineers are fully equipped with the tools they need. This book contains a completely different set of topics in fluid flow which are relevant to every engineer. These include worked examples of two-phase and multi-component flow, viscometry and the use of rheometers, non-Newtonian fluids, as well as new and novel applications of classical fluid flow principles.

List of contents

Fluid Statics. Flow Measurement. Freely Discharging Flow. Frictional Flow. Pumps. Multi-Phase Flow. Fluid Mixing. Particle Flow. Rheology and Non-Newtonian Fluids. Further Reading.

About the author

Carl Schaschke, Ph.D., is a chemical engineer and head of the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology at Abertay University (Dundee, Scotland). He previously served as head of the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland) for eight years. Prior to pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, Dr. Schaschke worked in the nuclear reprocessing industry at Sellafield (Cumbria, United Kingdom). In addition, his research interests are in the thermophysical measurement of substances under extreme pressure, he has taught fluid mechanics to undergraduates, and he has published several books.
