Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena by Jean-Laurent
The study of fluid mechanics and transfer phenomena in flows involves the association of difficulties which are encountered in different disciplines: thermodynamics, mechanics, thermal conduction, diffusion, chemical reactions, etc. This book is not intended to be an encyclopaedia, and we will thus not endeavour to cover all of the aforementioned disciplines in a detailed fashion. The main objective of the text is to present the study of the movement of fluids and the main consequences in terms of the transfer of mass and heat. The book is the result of many years of teaching and research, both theoretical and applied, in scientific domains which are often considered separately. In effect, the development of new disciplines which are at the same time specialized and universal was very much a characteristic of science in the 20th century. Thus, signal processing, system analysis, numerical analysis, etc. are all autonomous disciplines and indispensable means for students, engineers or researchers working in the domain of fluid mechanics and energetics. In the same way, various domains such as the design of chemical reactors, the study of the stars and meteorology require a solid knowledge of fluid mechanics in addition to that of their specific topics. This book is primarily aimed at students, engineers and researchers in fluid mechanics and energetics. However, we feel that it can be useful for people working in other disciplines, even if the reading of some of the more theoretical and specialized chapters may be dispensable in this case. The science and technology of the first half of the 20th century was heavily rooted in classical mechanics, with concepts and methods which relied on algebra and differential and integral calculus, these terms being taken into account in the sense they were used at that time. Furthermore, scientific thought was fundamentally deterministic during this period, even if the existence of games of chance using mechanical devices (dice, roulette, etc.)
