Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, civil, chemical and biomedical engineering, geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

Fundamental concepts, Units and Dimensions, gas relationship, molarity, molality, normality, partial pressure, pure  volume and the related calculations. fundamental concepts of material balance. Material balance in various unit processes and unit operations. Material balance with chemical reactions Energy balance related to various process equipment. Calculation of standard heat of reaction from the heat of formation and heat of combustion, thermochemistry, energy balance in various unit operations, the heat of solutions, the heat of neutralization etc. Fuels and combustion calculation, proximate and ultimate analysis, adiabatic reaction temperature, air to fuel ratio, complex processes calculation.

To impart knowledge on the kinetics of isothermal and non-isothermal reactions for simple and multiple reactors

Process economics is an important element of the Chemical Engineering discipline and is concerned with the Optimization of profit which is determined by the process engineering design and ultimately operation. The Optimization, therefore, requires an ability to determine the influence of processing techniques and sequencing, and equipment design and operating parameters on the economic performance.

 Despite the Chemical Process Industries covering a diverse range of products the principles in determining the value of these processes are the same and are drawn from economics. This subject will discuss the main methods employed to evaluate projects and optimize operations in the Chemical Process Industries.

To familiarize the methods of accounting non ideal behavior of reactors, heterogeneous reactors for solid catalyzed reactions and non-catalytic fluid particle reactions

The study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, charge, momentum and angular momentum between observed and studied systems.
