Chemical Engineering Principles I Fluids Lab

Catalog description

A practical, hands-on understanding of fluid mechanics phenomena is critical to the successful practice of chemical engineering, and the design of chemical processes. The laboratory course provides basic exposure to equipment commonly used to move fluids and to measure the regimes, characteristic, flow rates, and energy losses during fluid flow. Experiments include measurement of hydrostatic forces and viscosity, friction losses during flow through circular pipes, Reynolds number estimation, orifice and venture meters for flow metering, and pump characteristics. Spring. Co-requisite: CHML 208 .
