Newtonian fluids, macroscopic energy balance, Bernoulli equation, dimensional analysis,
continuity equation, flow through pipeline systems, flow meters, pumps and compressors,
packed and fluidized beds, elementary boundary layer theory.
Size reduction, and size separation, free and hindered settling, centrifuges, and cyclones,
thickening and classification, filtration, mixing and agitation, storage and handling of solids.
