3. Nature and Scope Nature: Mathematical (vectors, vector calculus) Physical principles (law of conservation of- mass/ energy/angular momentum) Scope: Foundational Design and operation of storage vessels Design and operation of equipments for: (1) Momentum transfer (fluid moving machinery -pipes, pumps, blowers, nozzles, turbine, compressors, valves etc.) (2) Heat transfer (heat exchangers-heaters/coolers/condesers etc.) (3) Mass transfer(separators/purifiers -distillation columns, absorbers, adsorbers, extractors etc.) (4) Reactions (reactors-plug flow, mixed flow etc)

4. Important Topics Basic Equation of Fluid Statics Pressure Measurement Mass Balance Energy Balance (First Law of Thermodynamics) Bernoulli s Equation Laminar Flow Fluid Friction Drag Forces Flow Through Porous Media Boundary Layer Turbulent Flow Surface Tension
