JNTUK B.Tech Momentum Transfer gives you detail information of Momentum Transfer R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Learning Objectives: This course involves the fundamentals of fluid flow by including both theory and the applications of fluid flow in chemical engineering. Basic concepts of fluid mechanics will be taught to make the students to
- understand basic concepts associated to fluid flow such as viscosity, shear, newtonian and non-newtonian fluids etc.
- learn and apply continuity and Navier Stokes equation as a fundamental equation for the
analysis of chemical processes. - learn and apply the concept of boundary layer theory and governing mathematical equations for newtonian and non-newtonian fluid flow.
- learn and apply Bernoulli’s equation for various simple and complex cases of fluid flow.
- understand the basic differences between compressible and incompressible fluid flow and suitably adapt, modify and apply suitable correlations for compressible fluid flow.
- have sound knowledge with respect to various important fluid flow related machinery and equipment. Emphasis shall be towards various types of pumps, compressors and blowers.
- master the relevant theory for the application of fluid flow past solid surfaces. Emphasis is towards drag and pressure drop correlations for packed and fluidized beds.
- understand various accessories required for fluid flow such as fittings and valves and their relevance towards variation in pressure drop correlations.
- understand the knowledge related to various fluid flow measuring devices (Venturi, Orifice, Rotameter and Pitot Tube).
