This volume covers those unit operations which demand an understanding of fluid mechanics. This book differs from other texts because it applies theory directly to the design of unit operations. The authors present detailed equipment scaleup methodology along with numerous practice and example problems. Those principles important to mechanical design aspects for the intended operation are also presented. Major Sections include: Elements of Fluid Mechanics and Unit Operations; Principles of Similarity, Modeling and Dimensional Analysis; Classification of Hydraulic Processes; Principles of Hydrostatics; Internal Problems of Hydrodynamics: Single-Fluid Flows; Fluid Transport by Pumps; Gas Compression and Transportation; Introduction to Heterogeneous Systems and External Problems of Hydrodynamics; Principles and Practices of Particle Sedimentation; Centrifugal Separation Techniques; Mixing Theory and Practice; Mixed Problems of Hydrodynamics: Filtration; Fluidization and Fluid-Particle Transport; Hydrodynamics of Gas-Liquid Flows.
