Abulencia J.P., Theodore L. Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer. Essential Engineering Calculations Series

Jonh Wiley & Sons, 2009. - 538 p. ISBN: 0470317639First Edition
This book teaches the fundamentals of fluid flow by including both theory and the applications of fluid flow in chemical engineering. It puts fluid flow in the context of other transport phenomena such as mass transfer and heat transfer, while covering the basics, from elementary flow mechanics to the law of conservation.Introduction to Fluid FlowHistory of Chemical Engineering-Fluid FlowFluid Flow
