Transport Processes in Petroleum Production

Credit 3: (3-0) Required for Juniors
Catalog Description: The course covers basics and applications of fluid mechanics (statics; mass, energy, and momentum balances; laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds number, Moody diagram; flow of non-Newtonian fluids; multi-phase flow; flow in porous media, non-Darcy flow) and of heat transfer (heat conduction and convection). It emphasizes analogies within transport phenomena and provides tools for the analysis and selection of pumps, compressors and heat exchangers.
