The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media.Thoroughly updating and expanding its best-selling predecessor, this edition addresses numerical and experimental developments in non-Newtonian particulate systems. It includes a new chapter on heat transfer in non-Newtonian fluids in the free and mixed convection regimes and thus covers forced convection regimes separately in this edition.Salient Features:Demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flowsAddresses heat transfer in Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF), visco-plastic and visco-elastic fluids throughout the book and outlines potential strategies for heat transfer enhancementProvides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluidsWritten in a clear and concise manner, this book remains an excellent handbook and reference. It is essential reading for students and researchers interested in exploring particle motion in different types of non-Newtonian systems encountered in disciplines across engineering and the sciences.

This book provides readers with the most current, accurate, and practical fluid mechanics related applications that the practicing BS level engineer needs today in the chemical and related industries, in addition to a fundamental understanding of these applications based upon sound fundamental basic scientific principles. The emphasis remains on problem solving, and the new edition includes many more examples.

Thoroughly revised and expanded, the Fourth Edition of Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics continues to provide a balanced treatment of the basics and applications the practicing chemical engineer needs to know. With emphasis on problem solving, the book demonstrates how to make approximations and solve complex fluid mechanics problems. This updated edition features a new chapter on Differential Mass and Momentum Balances, discussing the differential forms of continuity and momentum (Navier–Stokes) equations. The utility of these equations is demonstrated through examples of one-dimensional steady flows.Features:Revised and expanded new edition of the well-loved previous edition, a Choice “Highly Recommended” titlePresents the fundamental (macroscopic and microscopic) conservation equations that govern the behavior of fluids and applies these to a wide variety of practical situationsIncludes both Newtonian and non-Newtonian incompressible fluids and compressible fluids in subsonic through choked flow regimes as well as internal and external flowsDelivers broad coverage of topics from multiphase flows and gas–liquid to separationsFeatures a new chapter on Differential Mass and Momentum BalancesOffers end-of-chapter summaries and problems to reinforce learningAimed at chemical engineering students taking applied fluid dynamics courses, this textbook also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and professional engineers.A solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are available to adopting professors.

The CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering, Second Edition, is a fully updated version of this respected reference work, with chapters written by leading experts.
