The Chemical Engineer’s Practical Guide to Contemporary Fluid Mechanics Since most chemical processing applications are conducted either partially or totally in the fluid phase, chemical engineers need a strong understanding of fluid mechanics. Such knowledge is especially valuable for solving problems in the biochemical, chemical, energy, fermentation, materials, mining, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, polymer, and waste-processing industries.Fluid Mechanics … More >>
Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers with Microfluidics and CFD

I have a good chance to study this course with Prof. Wilkes at Petroleum and petrochemical college, Chulalonkorn University in Thailand. This book is very useful for me because it’s easy to understand and clear in every step. For example,some part of the fluid mechanics, I think it’s very difficult for me to understand in the past(in bachelor’s degree) but when I study this book, it make me clear and easy. I think this book is suitable for the beginner than the others that I met before.

I think that this book is an indispensable guide for fluid mechanics. It is easy to understand and it lets you progress with your pace with its solved examples. And one can excel in fluid mechanics by solving the suggesred problems of the book. This book not only helps you to understand the concept mathematically but gives the physical meanings of the problems.

It’s a good book, except that there are not enough examples, so, you have to work through the material and figure out how to solve it on your own.

This is a simple basic book about fluidics. Not complex equations.
Not a heavy mathematics. Contain useful information about technology process with fluids – bubbles and two phase flow.
Published in 1998 has relatively old information about everything.
Positive side – has a small chapter (20 pages) about
MatLab PDE Toolbox for solving fluid mechanics problems.
No connections with COMSOL at all or any kind of simulation.
