Abstract
Momentum transfer deals with flow of fluid and hence it is termed as fluid flow or fluid dynamics. Fluid flow influences mass transfer, heat transfer, mixing and homogenization. Metallurgists are concerned with the motion of fluids in many processes. Motion of fluids governs the effectiveness of mixing and homogenization of both composition and temperature in the reactors. Such mixing is of great importance in a variety of metal extraction and refining processes. Newton’s law of viscosity, flow characterization, velocity profile, velocity boundary layer, pressure variation in a static fluid, energy balance, applications of overall energy balance, and overall mass balance are discussed in detail in this chapter.
