• Slides provided to the students and available on Virtuale

Argomenti del programma: The course is taught in English Fluid Mechanics Introduction to the course. Exam rules. Textbooks. Eulerian and Lagrangian views. Local and material derivative. Microscopic mass balance. Microscopic momentum balance. Stress tensor in a fluid. Deformation rate tensor components. Constitutive equations for the relation between stress and deformation rate for Newtonian fluids, Bingham fluids and power-law fluids.

• The course will be based mainly on the materials (slide papers and reviews) that the professors will made available to the students. Additional information about the treated topics can be found in the following books:

Argomenti del programma: The course is divided in two modules covering respectively thermodynamic and transport modelling. Module 1 The first module will focus on modelling tools which can help the analysis of thermodynamic behavior of complex systems. In particular starting from the corresponding state theory, the use of equation of state (e.g van der Waals and generalized cubic equation of states) and of activity coefficient models ( e.g…

Argomenti del programma: The course is divided in 4 modules covering basic principles and advance knowledge related to thermodynamics, transport phenomena (mass, heat, momentum) and possible application to classical and innovative separation processes if interest for offshore engineering.
