Applied fluid mechanics (suite 1A)

3CH3 Applied fluid mechanics (suite 1A) Materials and Chemistry S9
Lessons : 10 h TD : 5 h TP : 16 h Project : 0 h Total : 31 h
Co-ordinator : Federico AZZOLINA-JURY
Prerequisite
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics 1A
Course Objectives
Transmit to young engineers basic knowledge of unit operations concerning momentum transfer phenomena in the chemical industry
Syllabus
The course is divided into six chapters. In the first two chapters, the measurement of flows as well as the viscosity of fluids is discussed. In chapter 3, we study the regular and singular pressure drop present in the industry. The different types of valves and industrial accessories are presented. Chapter 4 is devoted to the study of compressible fluids and laws concerning compressible fluids with low Mach number. In chapter 5 we study the industrial pumps (volumetric and centrifugal) and in chapter 6, we study an important industrial operation: filtration.
Practical work (TD or TP)
The courses will be supplemented with application exercises The 4 TP concern the measurement of flows and viscosity, the evaluation of the pressure losses, the study of the characteristic curves of a system of centrifugal pumps coupled in series or in parallel and the unitary filtration operation.
Acquired skills
The student will be able to size a complete industrial installation with all the accessories (valves, elbows, pipes ...) and choose the commercial turbomachines adapted to the process (pump, compressor). The student can also optimize an existing industrial installation.
