Index Notation
This semester we will make use of index notation alongside standard vector notation.
Detailed notes describing the properties and some uses of index notation are given
here.
Transport Glossary
In order to help you better understand fluid mechanics, we have prepared a glossary of terms, phenomena, dimensionless numbers, etc., that we will be using this term. If you memorize this material, you will be far along the path to better understanding fluids! The glossary is given
here.
Web Based Explorations
In addition to class readings, I recommend that you further explore interesting
topics in transport phenomena by using the resources available on the web. To this
end, each day's lecture will also have a link to a website I found interesting. An index
of these sites is provided here.
Printable Version of Notes
As a way of being able to print out the notes more conveniently,
here are a couple of links:
You can use your browser's print command to print them, or to
generate a pdf file. A cover page is located here.
Some browsers don't do the page break properly on the files above: I have found
that my old version of Firefox gets it right, while up to date versions of Safari and Chrome have
issues for the two column format, at least on my computer. Thus, I have also generated a pdf file with four pages per sheet. This file
(10Mb) may be found here. This is a much cheaper way of getting
the course packet! You can get it bound at FedEx/Kinko's, or use your own 3-ring binder.
Printing front and back gets the notes down to a page count that the coil
machine can eat easily...

References
Several texts have been placed on reserve in the Engineering Library that may be of use. These are:
- R. L. Panton, Incompressible flow, New York : Wiley, 1984.
This text provides a description of index notation in Chapter 3.
- J. R. Welty, C. E. Wicks, R. E. Wilson, and G. L. RorrerFundamentals of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, 4th ed.,New York : Wiley, 2000.
This text provides a useful introduction to integral momentum balances in
Chapters 1-5.
- R. B. Bird, W. E. Stewart and E. N. Lightfoot, Transport phenomena, New York, Wiley, 2006 edition.
This is an update (after 40 years!) of -the- classic text on transport phenomena. Although at a high level, it provides
excellent development and applications of the microscopic equations governing transport. Many chemical engineers find this to be a useful reference text in
their later careers. I still fish mine out some four decades after first taking
transport. The international version is acceptable for this course, and is pretty much dirt cheap...
Chapters 1-8 are appropriate for this course.
