Engineers
in Fluid Mechanics
Hard problems involved detailed
phenomena that act on a small scale but
influence the large scale
Also systems with mass transfer and/or
chemical reaction occurring

Sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic
An engineer can always befuddle a financial
person with technology, but a financial
person can never over whelm an engineer
with numbers

The more you know, the better engineer

you will be!
I knew then as I can confirm now, nothing
would ever be as hard to understand as
transport phenomena and the NavierStokes equations. I was never again
intimidated by quantitative problems and I
appreciated the need to formulate simpler
problems that gave useful results.

Favorite quotes
The history of modern science has shown repeatedly that a
quantitative description of nature can often be achieved most
successfully by first idealizing natural phenomena, i.e. by
setting up a simplified model, either physical or mathematical,
which crudely describes the essential behavior while neglecting
details.
(In fact, one of the outstanding characteristics of great
contributors to modern science has been their ability to
distinguish between what is essential from what is incidental) ........"

Conclusions
Fluid mechanics is fun!
The niche for chemical engineers is
understanding the effects of small scale
phenomena that cause large scale outcomes
This course possesses great depth and
should be useful to your educational
development even if you do not use it day
to for a living
