Introduction fluid mechanics

Mass balance Apphed to the control volume, the principle of consei vation of mass may be written as (Whitaker, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1968, Krieger, Huntington, N.Y., 1981)... 

Mixing of fluids is a discipline of fluid mechanics. Fluid motion is used to accelerate the otherwise slow processes of diffusion and conduction to bring about uniformity of concentration and temperature, blend materials, facihtate chemical reactions, bring about intimate contact of multiple phases, and so on. As the subject is too broad to cover fully, only a brier introduction and some references for further information are given here.

It is the aim of this book to provide a useful introduction to the simplified form of basic governing equations and an illustration of a consistent method of applying these to the analysis of a variety of practical flow problems. Hopefully, the reader will use this as a starting point to delve more deeply into the limitless expanse of the world of fluid mechanics. 

The topics of heat, mass and momentum transfer, known collectively as transport processes, are fully examined in the books by Welty et al. [21] and Bird et al. [22]. There is a useful introduction to fluid mechanics and heat transfer by Kay and Nedderman [23], while mass transfer is fully discussed by Treybal [24] and Sherwood et al. [25]. Coulson and Richardson [26] also give clear introductions to these subjects. 

The introduction of more porous wall structures necessitates a closer look at the soot particle fate inside the wall and the deep-bed filtration mode starts to be important. Flow in porous media represents a challenging area of fluid mechanics and initial approaches (Bissett, 1984 Konstandopoulos et al., 2001,...
