Fluid Dynamic Principles

Many mechanical separations involve the movement of solid particles or liquid drops through a fluid. The fluid may be gas or liquid, and it may be flowing or static. As some assortment of examples mention may be made of the removal of dust and fumes from air or flue gas, the removal of solids from liquid wastes to permit discharge into public domain, and of the recovery of acid mists from an acid plant gaseous wastes.

Stephen Hales, an English clergyman and physicist, carried out a classic experiment in 1732 to determine blood pressure. He connected a U tube to the carotid artery of a mare and observed the height that blood rose in the tube. Then, using fluid dynamic principles, he calculated the velocity of blood in the aorta, force of contraction, and stroke volume. This work has been the foundation of modem hemodynamics and was used by Bernoulli in his quite accurate calculation of cardiac output in 1737. 

Fluid dynamics is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the behavior of gases, air, and water in motion. An understanding of fluid dynamic principles is essential to the work done in aerodynamics. It informs the design of air and spacecraft. An understanding of fluid dynamic principles is also essential to the field of hydromechanics and the design of oceangoing vessels. Any system with air, gases, or water in motion incorporates the principles of fluid dynamics.

Students should take substantial course work in more than one of the primary fields of study related to fluid dynamics (physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering), because the fields that depend upon knowledge of fluid dynamic principles draw from multiple disciplines. In addition, anyone desiring to work in fluid dynamics should possess skills that go beyond the academic, including an aptitude for mechanical details and the ability to envision a problem in more than one dimension. A collaborative mind-set is also an asset, as fluid dynamic applications tend to be created by teams.

Chapter 7 introduces for the first time the basic fluid dynamics principles of packed columns for liquid/liquid extraction. The previously mentioned SBD model for gas/liquid systems is transferable to liquid/liquid systems. The method used to calculate the gas velocity at flooding point of the disperse and continuous phases will be explained by means of some numerical examples.
