Omschrijving

This course covers the transport mechanisms (and their rates) for mass, momentum and energy, with in specific, molecular and convective
transport of mass and momentum, macro balances for mass and momentum, microbalances for mass and momentum, derivation of the
continuity equation and the Navier-Stokes equations; flow between two parallel flat plates, flow through round tube and annular space between
two concentric cylinders, falling film, derivation and simple example applications of Bernoulli’s law, Reynolds number, laminar and turbulent flow, and
Fanning’ law for pressure drop over tube system and Ergun’s equation for pressure drop over fixed particulate beds. 

Extra information about the assessment
The grades for the practical component (report 1 and 2) are valid for 6 academic years. The results of the final exam are only valid in the academic year in which they were taken.
The final course grade will be the weighted average, which should by at least a 5.5 to pass the course. 

In case of an insufficient grade for the report (report 1 and/or report 2), there is a resit opportunity for the lab report after quartile 3. The deadline for the revised lab report will be determined by the responsible lecturer, and will be no longer than 3 months after the quartile ended, and will be before the end of the respective academic year. The maximum grade for the resit of the lab report will be a 5.5; in case the obtained result will be higher than a 5.5, the result will be adjusted to a 5.5.

Extra information about register
To register for this course via Osiris, you must have completed the safety test of 6BBR02 with at least a 6.0. If you are unable to register for this course, but do meet the admission requirements, please contact the Center of Student Administrations of Chemical Engineering & Chemistry (CSA-CEC) via email: [email protected]

Extra General info:
A student may only be absent for at most 5% of the scheduled hours of the practical component of this course
, with an, according to the opinion of the board examiners, legitimate reason. Only if the absence of student hinders the continuation of the project, a student needs to catch up for the missed hours A student informs the lecturer about his or her absence right away If a student is absent for more than 5% of the scheduled time, in any case, possibilities to catch up for the missed hours need to be discussed with the lecturer of the course. The lecturer can oblige a student to re-sit part or the whole course later.
 

Doelstellingen

• The student is able to apply the macroscopic balances for mass, heat and momentum to determine the state and or rate of change of conserved quantities in a control volume. 
• The student is able to determine velocity and stress distributions for fluid flow through simple geometries (2-D, 3-D tube flow) using the microbalances for momentum (Navier-Stokes equation) using different boundary conditions (no-slip, free-slip). 
• The student is able to use concepts such as dimensionless numbers (Reynolds, Archimedes numbers), and laminar and turbulent flow. 
• The student is able to determine the pressure drop over a tube-system and fixed beds, and in combination with Bernoulli’s law determine e.g. the time required to empty a vessel or determine the power of turbine for a hydroelectric power station. 
• The student is able to apply and test these laws in a practical environment. 
• The student is able to write a lab report.
