Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers

Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers, 4th Edition, presents fundamental principles governing fluid behavior in chemical engineering contexts. Noel de Nevers introduces foundational engineering principles, moving from fluid statics and balance equations to the first law of thermodynamics.

The textbook examines both one-dimensional flows and multidimensional mechanics, addressing phenomena such as fluid friction, momentum balances, potential flow, and turbulence.

Many examples throughout the text draw on everyday household items observable by students. The 2021 edition also added coverage of wind turbines, hydraulic fracturing, and microfluidics.
